Qué cubre este vídeo
The crew of the 40-ft sailboat Uma sails north along the coast of Senja, Norway, navigating shifting winds and frequent snow squalls. During a 30-mile transit, the crew encounters wind speeds fluctuating between 8 and 25 knots, necessitating a first reef in the mainsail and a second reef in the headsail.8:04 The vessel docks in the town of Ham, a former mining site featuring a 150-year-old stone dam once used for an early hydroelectric power plant.15:26 After departing the dock, the crew anchors in a nearby bay to visit a beach containing a large humpback whale vertebrae, a site visible on Google Earth.22:26 Despite the arrival of May, the crew reports persistent near-freezing temperatures and snow, requiring the use of a shore-side bonfire for cooking fresh cod.28:57 The crew notes that while the west coast of Senja offers scenic fjords and anchorages, it remains highly exposed to northerly winds and swell.12:57
