Qué cubre este vídeo

A 300-nautical-mile passage from Greenland to Húsavík, Iceland, begins with a near-emergency in a Greenlandic anchorage where 50-to-60-knot gusts force the crew to cut one anchor line and motor out under chaotic conditions.0:28 The crew maintains a two-person watch system, rotating every four hours, to navigate the 300-mile transit across the North Atlantic.24:35 During the first third of the trip, the crew maintains a constant lookout for icebergs in heavy fog.34:12 The vessel encounters varying conditions, including periods of calm requiring engine use and 20-knot northeasterly winds that allow for sailing.9:57 The skipper struggles to mount the wind vane steering system in heavy seas, opting instead to use the autopilot, which increases electrical consumption.12:43 Upon approaching the Icelandic coast, the crew navigates near a freighter, adjusting speed to ensure a safe closest point of approach.29:07 The passage concludes with a stern-to docking at a concrete pier in Flatey, Iceland, using large fenders to mitigate surge.30:33
