Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A 40-foot sailboat attempting to transit Prince Christian Sound, Greenland, aborts its passage to a weather station after encountering 35-knot winds, heavy rain, and dense fog.9:22 The crew, Drake and Monique, initially depart their anchorage at 6:30 a.m. but decide to return when visibility drops, obscuring icebergs and bergy bits drifting through the sound.17:27 They re-anchor in their original spot, using a Fortress anchor with 15 feet of galvanized chain and a rope rode to avoid risking their primary Rocna anchor in rocky, deep-water conditions.24:01 While waiting for the weather to improve, the crew maintains a constant ice watch, manually fending off car-sized ice chunks that drift toward the hull on a lee shore.29:20 The vessel remains anchored in 30 to 170 feet of water, monitoring position via radar and chart plotter to ensure the anchor holds against gusting winds and tidal changes.19:12 The crew concludes that navigating unknown waters in adverse conditions with limited visibility is too dangerous.9:38
