Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Solo sailor Nova Loman navigates her 1970s sailboat through a narrow, shallow channel in the Baltic archipelago to reach a protected anchorage ahead of forecasted high winds. With a vessel draft of 1.5 meters and water levels 20 centimeters above chart datum, she motors through the passage after striking her sails due to unpredictable wind shifts. Her depth sounder, which functions only sporadically, records a minimum depth of 1.9 meters during the transit. Loman manages her dog Neno’s seasickness, which occurred during a brief stretch of open-water sailing before entering the sheltered, amoeba-shaped anchorage. She secures the boat in 4 meters of water by paying out 20 meters of chain, confirming the anchor is set by reversing the engine. The passage serves as an alternative route for smaller vessels to avoid rougher conditions on the open sea. Loman notes that persistent low-pressure systems have caused an unusually windy July in the Baltic.
