A 38-ft sailboat, *Tessie*, navigates the southern coast of Norway from Kvitsøy to Lillesand while managing mechanical failures and severe weather. During the transit, the engine gearbox develops a loud, grinding noise caused by a significant oil leak, which the owner later repairs by flushing the system and resealing the drainage bolt.6:31 The vessel encounters storm "Floris," a rare August gale with winds exceeding 70 knots, forcing the crew to seek shelter in the port of Mandal.12:19 The route includes navigating the archipelago and inshore passages like Blindleia, which provide protection from the open Skagerrakk sea.26:38 While anchored in Nyhellesund, the crew attempts to tie to rocks due to a faulty dinghy but opts for stern anchoring in mud after the anchor drags.18:13 In Lillesand, the owner replaces a stuck Teflon rudder bearing with assistance from local residents.30:08 The trip concludes with the loss of a drone during a flight attempt and preparations for an offshore passage to Helgoland.27:11
