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.▶ 0:01 Lacking a functional reverse gear, he relies on precise timing and current-assisted maneuvers to dock at small, often free, piers.▶ 0:01 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.▶ 3:10 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.▶ 5:28 He manages the boat's sail trim by adjusting the traveler and vang to spill wind from the mainsail when gusts cause excessive heel.▶ 8:26 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.▶ 11:44
