Qué cubre este vídeo

Micha, sailing solo in the Faroe Islands, navigates the challenging tidal currents and unpredictable weather between the islands of Suduroy, Sandoy, and Hestur.Watch Lacking a functional reverse gear, he relies on precise timing and current-assisted maneuvers to dock at small, often free, piers.0:13 He uses the RORC app to calculate tidal windows, essential for transiting the narrow, high-current sounds between islands where wind-against-tide conditions create significant chop and eddies.15:56 During a passage from Sandoy to Hestur, he encounters strong currents and variable winds, necessitating multiple sail reefs and a headsail change to maintain control.10:41 He manages the boat's sail trim by adjusting the traveler and vang to spill wind from the mainsail when gusts cause excessive heel.8:21 After arriving in Hestur, he prepares a meal of locally caught saithe and scavenged potatoes while monitoring weather windows for an upcoming passage to Iceland.19:36
