What this video covers
Fishing for cod in the fjords near Sisimiut, Greenland, requires dropping lures to the bottom and reeling them up slightly. The crew of the Garcia Nouanni 43 catches five cod, noting that the fish yield relatively little meat once cleaned. While anchored in the fjord, the crew observes strong tidal currents that shift direction, necessitating careful monitoring of the boat's position. Maintenance tasks include winterizing the engine by flushing the cooling system with antifreeze and checking the prop shaft seal for ice accumulation. The crew also spends time skiing on the surrounding slopes, scouting steeper lines for final runs before departing the bay. Upon arriving at the harbor in Sisimiut, they find the area ice-free and utilize the local fuel dock.
