Steph and Travis sail their Custom Aluminum boat Jibsea 265 nautical miles from the Orkney Islands to Norway in 36 hours, averaging 7.1 knots — a passage they describe as one of their best.19:34 Departure timing centers on the Orkney tidal currents, which run hard enough to pull mooring balls underwater; a 3-knot fair current at the start pushes boat speed past 9 knots.0:11 Overnight, oil rigs in the North Sea require a mandatory 1-nautical-mile berth; the rigs hail on VHF to enforce it.5:51 The title's near-disaster involves a large tanker on a collision course: Travis radios the vessel, identified on air as "Ottoman Tennessee," and requests a 10-degree port alteration; the tanker complies, passing 0.6 miles off — closer than comfortable.11:03 Arrival in Norway comes just before dark, which matters because the anchorage is 60 feet deep and surrounded by a narrow cut that would have been dangerous to navigate at the planned 3 a.m. arrival.17:13 Travis also demonstrates the Orca Core 2 navigation system, plugged into the boat's Raymarine SeaTalk/NMEA 2000 network, highlighting its portable touchscreen, instrument repeaters, and wireless autopilot control as advantages over Navionics on an iPad alone.13:11 Timing a North Sea passage to arrive before dark is worth building into the plan, especially when Norwegian anchorages are deep and confined.
