Steph and Travis depart Liverpool after a five-and-a-half-month winter layover aboard Jibsea, bound north for Scotland and ultimately Norway.6:08 The winter stop was driven by Schengen visa rules: as Canadians, they reset their 90-day EU clock by spending six months in the UK, where they're permitted a single six-month stay.16:10 Liverpool proved milder and drier than expected; the boat's insulation and heating system kept conditions comfortable throughout.15:28 Off-season activities included daily gym walks into the city center, a day trip to Manchester by train, a weekend in Barcelona, and an all-inclusive on Egypt's Red Sea coast.15:16 Before departing, they replaced the original foam mattress on Jibsea with a heavy sprung-coil mattress and inspected the bow and stern thruster for fouling after five months on the hard — both spun freely.2:48 The departure lock at Liverpool required timing to high tide, again at night, though conditions were calm.4:12 The passage north covered 184 nautical miles in 29 hours, passing the Isle of Man and navigating a tidal gate on the North Channel where a 3.6-knot adverse current had previously stopped them cold.7:24 Steph also rigged a shower hot-water return loop to eliminate cold-water purge waste into the tank.12:26 A Nordhavn 68 crewed by friends named Dragon transited the same lock.0:55 Motion sickness medication Studron, a UK alternative to Gravol, is noted as less sedating.14:32
