¿Qué cubre este video?
Nova Loman departs Stockholm solo in April for the first sail of the season, navigating a paid exit lock, a pre-booked bridge requiring five-hour advance reservation plus one-hour confirmation call, and narrow canals before reaching open water.0:29 Three boats share the lock; the bridge wait runs 50 minutes.3:13 The GoPro batteries were uncharged and the SD card missing, so cockpit footage substitutes throughout.0:04 Wind is sunny and warmer than forecast, briefly pushing boat speed above motoring pace before the forecast calls for a wind shift and reversal by early afternoon.1:12 Nano the cat makes his first sail of the season.2:42 The main topic alongside the transit is a newly built hardtop dodger, constructed in epoxy primer over the winter and not yet top-coated; Loman compares it directly to the previous short dodger that left her soaked on a passage from Cherbourg through Denmark to Malmö in rain and thunder.7:07 Sitting under the new structure in the cockpit confirms the build was worthwhile even before the finish coat goes on.7:26
