Qué cubre este vídeo

Navigating the Faroe Islands requires precise tidal planning to manage currents that reach seven knots in narrow channels.19:29 Micha and Antje, sailing in the Faroe Islands, use the ROG app to time passages between islands like Hestur and Sandoy, aiming to hit slack water to avoid dangerous standing waves and whirlpools.2:32 During a 20-mile transit toward Tórshavn, the boat’s engine fails due to suspected fuel contamination or water in the main diesel tank.22:21 To maintain propulsion in strong currents, the crew bypasses the primary fuel system by running the engine directly from a clean diesel canister, with the fuel return line also routed into the canister to prevent fuel loss.23:15 The crew successfully reaches Tórshavn at night, navigating unfamiliar harbor infrastructure and a missing buoy in high winds.26:15 The experience highlights the necessity of calculating tidal windows in current-dominated waters and the utility of a temporary, independent fuel supply when dealing with engine-clogging debris in the main tank.
