Erik Aanderaa sails his 38-ft sailboat, Tessie, from the Outer Hebrides to the remote archipelago of St. Kilda. The passage begins with a stop at the Shiant Isles, where he anchors in a bay between Garb Eilean and Eilean an Tighe.6:04 After departing for Tarbert, Harris, he encounters a fouled furling line on his gennaker.9:42 Upon reaching Tarbert, he prepares for the final leg through the Sound of Harris.13:16 During this transit, he experiences 30-knot winds and significant tidal stream waves that exceed the weather forecast, forcing a stressful navigation through shoals and skerries to reach an anchorage in Leverburgh.18:57 He eventually completes the 8-to-10-hour passage to St. Kilda, motoring against headwinds to reach Village Bay on the island of Hirta.21:06 He explores the abandoned 1930s village, the church, and the nearby gannet colonies of Boreray before beginning the return journey to Norway.26:06 Persistent challenges with weather and gear, such as fouled lines and unexpected sea states, require constant adaptation and reliance on the boat's heavy displacement design.
