Cosa tratta questo video

Juho and Sohvi Kangasluoma spend nearly two weeks in Sisimiut, northern Greenland, preparing the Garcia Nouanni 43 for a several-thousand-mile passage back to Europe via Iceland and the Faroe Islands.0:07 Provisioning tasks include taking on 166 litres of diesel at roughly 6 Danish krone per litre (about $4 per US gallon) and filtering 400–500 litres of chlorinated municipal water per hour through an onboard filter system to protect the aluminium tanks.5:11 Juho inspects the genoa halyard, finds a worn section in the Dyneema line, and repositions the lead so that spot no longer runs over the same sheave.17:20 He applies PTFE lubricant to the mainsail track, checks that all shackle pins are secured, and services the manual bilge pump — a cylindrical type he rates above every alternative tried.14:40 A TrueKit navigator carried for four to five years gets a positive mention for reliability.8:54 The boat rafts alongside a local fishing vessel to access the dock, and the crew notes northern Greenland logistics add significant time compared to sailing in lower latitudes.20:19 The planned route departs Sisimiut northward along Greenland before turning toward Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and ultimately a final European destination still to be decided.22:21
