Micha and his crew depart Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland, to navigate the Scoresby Sund, the world’s largest fjord system.0:50 The 340-kilometer passage toward Hekla Havn turns into a 27-hour ordeal against 30- to 40-knot gusts and unpredictable currents.10:13 The crew struggles to maintain headway while motor-sailing and tacking through dense icebergs, which prevents the use of the autopilot.7:24 Conditions force the use of a storm jib and three reefs in the mainsail, yet the boat makes slow progress against persistent headwinds and heavy rain.6:56 After 27 hours—10 hours longer than planned—the vessel reaches the anchorage at Hekla Havn, consuming 20 liters of diesel more than anticipated.17:26 The decision to depart Ittoqqortoormiit proves correct, as other vessels remaining at the original anchorage suffer from dragging anchors during the same weather system.17:14 The crew recovers in Hekla Havn, a bay historically used by Carl Ryder during his 1891–1892 expedition to map the Scoresby Sund.18:26
