Qué cubre este vídeo

A package delivery failure drives Micha's route across the western Baltic for two weeks. He sails from Norway's Larvik south to Skagen, Denmark, to collect a sponsored power station worth roughly 2,000 euros — shipped via UPS express at 170 euros — only to learn UPS classifies the lithium battery inside as hazardous goods and refuses express delivery.4:11 Rather than pay Skagen's 40-euro-per-night marina fee while waiting, he leaves and sails 35 miles east to Sweden's west coast, anchoring near Kungshamn-Smögen to meet Swiss sailing friends.4:33 Multiple UPS phone calls over six days produce no resolution; the package is eventually redirected to Berlin.35:06 Meanwhile, the autopilot loses its course reference, circling instead of holding a heading — Micha defers the reset to avoid powering down the chart plotter underway.15:16 He sails in 26-degree heat past Güllholmen and along the Swedish coast, motorsailing in light air, managing spoiling provisions including onions, eggs, and vegetables.32:01 After roughly two weeks, the power station finally arrives and comes aboard.36:55 The episode illustrates how a single hazardous-goods classification can cascade into weeks of detours, marina fees, and a delayed passage toward Scotland and Iceland.
