What this video covers

Micha and Antje navigate their boat from Skarnö, Sweden, to Klintholm on the Danish island of Møn.1:10 During a night arrival at Klintholm, the crew encounters an unlit, newly constructed breakwater that was not reflected on their outdated electronic charts.1:37 The cost of updating charts for the entire route from Greenland to Germany prompted the decision to forgo the update, leading to a difficult entry in 1.5-meter seas and strong winds.1:28 Once docked, the crew prepares for a final passage to Germany, performing a sail change from the Code Zero to the large genoa.3:08 They visit the chalk cliffs at Møns Klint, noting the 497-step staircase to the beach, which remains inaccessible due to high water levels caused by easterly winds.6:36 While moored in Klintholm, the boat experiences significant surging in the harbor, requiring the use of snubbers on the mooring lines to manage the motion.12:13 The harbor master warns that water service will be disconnected due to impending freezing temperatures.4:07
