Micha and Antje navigate the Swedish west coast in early November, encountering dense fog while sailing toward Varberg.1:44 With visibility reduced to approximately 50 to 60 meters, the crew relies on AIS data to track nearby commercial traffic, including the vessels Pauline and Coral Fungia.10:43 The lack of radar complicates navigation in the busy shipping lane, forcing the crew to steer manually to avoid close-quarters encounters with tankers and fishing boats operating without AIS.4:32 Winds remain light, fluctuating between 3 and 10 knots, requiring the crew to adjust sail trim to maintain a speed of 5 to 6 knots.6:33 The pair considers Bua as an alternative destination but ultimately reaches the harbor at Varberg after dark.6:47 The transit highlights the difficulty of maintaining situational awareness in high-traffic areas during low-visibility conditions. The crew remains in Varberg for one week due to unfavorable weather forecasts, including predicted winds of 25 to 30 knots from the south and southeast.12:21
