What this video covers
The crew of Northern Brees, a Baltic Yachts 42 DP, completes the final leg of a Baltic Sea circumnavigation by transiting the German coast. After departing Dizinau, Poland, the vessel sails 42 miles to a marina in Crowsland, Germany, navigating shallow harbor waters. The crew then motors 30 miles to Stralsund, timing their arrival to coincide with the lift bridge schedule for rail and road traffic. While docked in Stralsund, the crew experiences recurring refrigerator failures and takes a train to Berlin for a city tour. Continuing 10 miles to Barhoft, the vessel moors at the hammerhead dock. In Barhoft, the crew encounters the Sea Shepherd vessel, which is actively retrieving abandoned ghost nets from the Baltic. They also host a local retired chef, Wolfgang, who prepares fresh smoked mackerel in the boat's galley. The crew plans to continue their transit toward the Kiel Canal, weighing options between further German ports or heading northwest toward Denmark.
