A solo sailor navigates a 187-nautical-mile passage from Torshavn, Faroe Islands, to Cullivoe, Shetland, aboard the sailboat Tessie.1:24 The forecast predicted 25 knots from the southwest, but conditions escalated to a constant 30 knots with 2-to-4-meter seas.13:01 The sailor manages the boat using a Hydrovane self-steering system and a hydro generator to maintain battery levels.8:52 To handle the increased wind, the sailor manually reefs the mainsail to the third reef while sailing downwind, opting to work without a safety tether despite the heavy conditions.17:31 After 24 hours at sea, the vessel reaches the entrance to the sound at Cullivoe, where an unexpected 6-knot head current stalls the boat for nearly an hour.27:54 Once the current eases, the sailor completes the arrival at the remote fishing port.28:08 The passage demonstrates that reefing while powered downwind requires careful timing and that tidal current calculations are critical when entering narrow sounds in the Shetland Islands.
