What this video covers

Tone Jørgensen prepares to sail her 28-foot Maxi Yachts FENIX 8.5 from Tønsberg to Sandsteig, Harstad, to relocate to her childhood home.▶ 1:30 After purchasing the boat in 2021 without prior sailing experience, Jørgensen spent two years learning to handle the vessel solo before joining the active sailing community at Fjærholmen.▶ 4:11 To prepare for the coastal transit, she overhauled the boat’s electrical system, updated her navigation charts, and installed a personal AIS/SART beacon for man-overboard safety.▶ 11:14 She previously converted the boat for regatta racing but has since reconfigured it for cruising.▶ 13:17 Jørgensen plans to sail the first leg of the journey with a partner before continuing solo, aiming to build self-reliance and transition toward a lifestyle focused on nature and local foraging.▶ 9:46 She identifies her primary concern as maneuvering in busy harbors rather than open-water conditions.▶ 16:45 The project represents a personal reset, which she terms "Tone 2.0," following a period of professional burnout.▶ 2:55
