What this video covers

Micha, the host of XTRIP SAILING, attempts a coastal transit from Warnemünde to a boatyard in Barth, Germany, during February.Watch The passage requires navigating shallow, buoyed channels in near-zero visibility due to dense fog.19:11 Relying on a chart plotter and tablet for navigation, the host maneuvers through narrow sections where depths drop to 1.1 meters and submerged stones pose a risk to the vessel.21:42 After three hours of slow, cautious motoring, the host decides to anchor in a deeper, open area off the main channel rather than risk continuing to the destination in worsening conditions.23:01 The transit covers approximately 8 miles of the 15-mile journey.24:36 During the trip, the host prepares a cake using an Omnia stovetop oven, noting that the device requires careful heat management to prevent burning.17:22 The experience highlights the difficulty of navigating restricted, unlit coastal waterways in low-visibility conditions compared to open-ocean sailing.
