Ce que couvre cette vidéo
After waiting eight days in Træna, Norway, for a southwesterly gale to subside, the crew of the 38-ft sailboat Polaris crossed the Træna Fjorden to the island of Lovund.0:23 The passage required avoiding a 2.5 to 3-meter significant wave forecast that threatened to build to 4 meters.1:18 Upon arrival at Lovund, the crew navigated a complex, narrow, and shallow harbor entrance, opting to bypass the ferry route due to charted depths as shallow as one meter.2:10 They performed a stern-to docking in the guest harbor, maneuvering in tight, rocky conditions.4:13 The island, home to approximately 530 residents and a growing salmon industry, features a unique café housed in a former maritime engine museum.10:41 Following their stay, the crew sailed a 25-nautical-mile leg toward Sandnessjøen in 12 to 15 knots of wind, initially reefing the mainsail as a precaution before shaking it out as conditions moderated.14:29
