What this video covers
Nova Loman is single-handing an OE32 through the Stockholm archipelago, navigating a 40-nautical-mile route over the course of a week.▶ 5:26 The passage requires constant attention due to high boat traffic, numerous islands, and frequent wind shifts.▶ 5:38 Loman reports that GPS signal interference in the Baltic Sea, attributed to regional conflict, has become frequent, prompting a reliance on both electronic plotters and traditional paper charts.▶ 8:12 After a five-year overhaul of the vessel, she notes improved performance and speed, which she attributes to a freshly painted keel free of barnacles.▶ 3:57 The trip includes a stop at a harbor to utilize shore power for the boat's heater and to access local amenities like showers.▶ 11:20 Loman notes that while she initially planned a longer passage, she opted for a shorter, slower route to accommodate a family commitment.▶ 4:38
