After abandoning a second attempt to reach Greenland due to illness, Erik Aanderaa sails solo from Torshavn, Faroe Islands, to Haugesund, Norway, via the Shetland Islands.1:47 The 400-nautical-mile return passage involves light winds, requiring engine use and gennaker deployment.7:36 While transiting the west coast of Shetland, Aanderaa navigates toward Eshaness lighthouse and through Yell Sound, utilizing favorable tidal currents.11:52 He uses a Hydrovane self-steering system, noting that the unit requires periodic course adjustments based on tracking data to maintain an efficient heading.10:02 During the transit, he loses a drone to a technical failure near Eshaness but recovers an older P4 Advanced unit to film the approach.13:27 Upon reaching the Norwegian coast, he anchors at the island of Røvær to complete a mandatory quarantine period.15:36 Aanderaa attributes his previous encounter with dangerous tidal waves near Mykines, Faroe Islands, to a lack of specific wave-height warnings on Navionics charts and the Rak app.23:03 He plans a third attempt to reach Greenland for June 2022.22:17
