What this video covers
After departing Floro, Norway, the crew of Jibsea motored north toward Stad, a headland known for rough seas and exposed conditions.0:16 Favorable weather and glassy water allowed them to bypass their planned stop at Malloy and continue for an additional three hours to round the point safely.3:12 They anchored for the night in a protected bay behind a breakwall, choosing a 50-foot depth over a tighter, shallower spot near a local dock.7:14 The crew noted that while 50-foot depths are common for anchoring in this region, they opted for the deeper water to avoid potential navigation risks in the confined, shallow area.7:27 The following morning, they hiked to a nearby lookout point before continuing their transit.11:07 The passage demonstrated the value of monitoring weather windows to navigate notoriously difficult coastal stretches during calm conditions.
