Qué cubre este vídeo

A planned 506-nautical-mile North Sea crossing from the Netherlands to the Orkney Islands turns into a storm survival run when an unforecast low-pressure system sweeps across the English Channel and hits Jakob Lang's boat off the Dutch coast.0:16 The original forecast called for force 5–6 northeasterly headwinds — uncomfortable but manageable — but the arriving low escalated conditions well beyond that.0:07 Departing from home port Lelystad, the boat transits the IJmuiden locks into the North Sea with strong winds already on the bow.0:29 The low strikes before any offshore distance is made, forcing an abort of the northbound route.0:21 With no safe option upwind, the only viable move is to run the storm south and seek shelter at Aymuin.0:23 The video breaks off before the storm's peak conditions, the boat's performance under storm sail, or the final approach to shelter are described.
