Steph and Travis, sailing a custom aluminum boat, navigated the north coast of Iceland in mid-September, encountering 30-knot winds that forced them to drift at one knot between offshore islands to avoid shallow patches.0:14 After crossing the Arctic Circle, they reached the village of Rauverhaven before continuing 114 nautical miles to the east coast.1:53 The transit required rounding the Langanis peninsula, which necessitated a six-hour detour and motoring through heavy swells.3:01 Upon reaching the fjord of Seydisfjordur, the crew utilized radar and distance-to-land markers to safely enter the harbor at night.5:40 The town offers a new dock with electricity and water, though it sits one kilometer from the main village.8:01 During their weather-delayed stay, the crew hiked to the Tvisongur art installation and observed the containment efforts for oil leaking from the 1944 wreck of the SS El Grillo.12:22 As October approached, the crew experienced a seasonal shift from mild, green conditions to snow-covered mountains, complicating their planned departure for the Faroe Islands.13:00
