Steph and Travis sail their custom aluminum expedition sailboat from an anchorage to Bergen, Norway — roughly a five-hour passage — catching 26–28-knot gusts under a code zero before entering the harbor approaches in sunshine.▶ 0:15 Arriving on Labor Day weekend, they find the main harbor packed with boats rafted three and four deep, and spend time circling before tying up as the outermost of four boats, first asking permission from the inboard vessel.▶ 2:56 They note that rafting without hesitation is the local norm in Norwegian harbors during busy periods.▶ 4:28 A smaller inner harbor with a lift bridge is quieter but requires reserving a bridge opening in advance.▶ 6:40 Bergen's Bryggen waterfront — a UNESCO World Heritage Site dating to the 1300s — is the visual centerpiece of the visit; they also hike Mount Fløyen and rent bikes to reach an open-air museum of 18th- and 19th-century wooden houses.▶ 8:14 A significant problem surfaces when the Starlink Gen 2 router's capacitor burns out and is confirmed irreparable; because Starlink ships only to a registered address and no longer sells the Gen 2 unit, they face buying a full new kit at a Bergen electronics store.▶ 12:03 They pick up a local SIM card as a stopgap, noting that Norway's anchorages require cross-referencing Navionics with Google Maps satellite imagery to identify bottom type, since chart data alone often leaves holding conditions unclear.▶ 13:35
