Nova Loman, sailing solo with her dog Neno, transits the final 10-mile stretch to her winter harbor in Stockholm, Sweden.2:32 The route requires passing through a bridge and a lock, both of which require advance booking.0:15 Loman pre-books the bridge for 16:30 but adjusts her departure to 13:00 to catch an earlier 15:30 opening, allowing her to maintain a comfortable speed of four to six knots despite gusty conditions.1:19 She chooses to douse the headsail early to avoid being overpowered and to protect the aging sailcloth.8:26 Upon reaching the lock, she expresses concern over the lack of cleats for securing lines, noting that the existing short, hanging lines provide no leverage for a seven-ton vessel.12:15 She successfully navigates the lock and assists a nearby boat with an overheating engine by towing them toward her destination.14:08 The passage concludes with a smooth arrival at her winter harbor.15:08 Proper route planning and booking bridge openings in advance are essential for solo sailors navigating urban waterways.
