Qué cubre este vídeo

A 85-nautical-mile passage from the Scoresby Sund region to Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland, requires a mix of motoring and sailing in late August.1:05 The crew encounters variable winds ranging from calm to 15-knot gusts, necessitating the use of a Code Zero in light air and a double-reefed mainsail with a large genoa during wind shifts.3:41 Navigation involves dodging icebergs and navigating through "brash ice" near the coast, where depth soundings reach 160 meters.13:45 Upon arrival at Ittoqqortoormiit, the crew anchors in 11.5 meters of water.19:59 Due to concerns about poor holding and a nearby dragging vessel, the skipper deploys a second anchor at a 45-degree angle to the primary to prevent the boat from swinging.17:57 The crew monitors their position using visual landmarks and an anchor alarm app.20:59 Fueling in Ittoqqortoormiit is challenging, as there is no dedicated yacht dock; vessels must anchor and stern-tie to the pier or use jerry cans, as local fuel supplies are limited.22:23 A recent attempt by a 17-meter yacht to dock resulted in the destruction of a newly built floating pier.22:49
