¿Qué cubre este video?

Polaris, a cruising sailboat, navigates the coastal waters of northern Norway from Havnes to Tromsø. The crew motors through the calm waters of Hamre Fjorden and the Flatøy islands, where they navigate a narrow, rock-strewn fairway requiring careful attention to beacons.8:42 Upon reaching the entrance to Kvalsund, the wind funnels through the sound at force 4–5, allowing for a brief period of sailing before the crew berths at the fishing harbor of Kvaløyvågen.9:47 Docking proves difficult in force 5–6 winds that blow the boat off the pontoon.11:46 To avoid forecasted 27-knot gusts and adverse tidal currents in Kvaløysund, the crew departs at 07:15 for the final leg to Tromsø.12:24 During this transit, the cruise ship Mein Schiff 4 overtakes Polaris in a narrow section of the sound, forcing the crew to hug the 10-meter contour line near the rocky shore.14:06 They reach Tromsø harbor just as heavy rain and strong gusts arrive.14:50
