The transit involves complex sea states with wind from the north, current from the south and east, and residual swell from the west, forcing the crew to sail off-course to maintain momentum.7:25 Early in the voyage, the crew discovers standing water in the bilge, which they initially fear is a hull breach.2:02 After tasting the liquid and inspecting the floorboards, they determine it is accumulated rainwater that shifted during heavy rolling.2:27 The vessel experiences significant motion, requiring the mainsail to be dropped mid-passage due to gusty conditions.7:55 Upon arrival in Skagen, the skipper evaluates the remainder of the trip to Bornholm.7:11 Citing the physical and mental fatigue of managing a crew during difficult conditions, the skipper considers continuing the voyage solo to prioritize personal well-being and a more manageable pace.9:33
