Cosa tratta questo video

Micha arrives on Iceland's east coast after a two-to-three-day solo passage from the Faroe Islands in over 20 knots of wind, with the windvane steering handling conditions he describes as rough.0:24 He anchors near Neskaupstaður, the easternmost town in Iceland, then moves to a smaller harbor — identified as his intended winter berth — where he rides out a 45-knot overnight storm.3:05 Wind funneled along the fjord alternated between pushing the boat off and onto the dock rather than pulling it clear as expected; he repositions five meters forward on the pontoon to improve the lie.19:15 He catches and fillets roughly 3 kg of cod, salting it in brine for three to four days before transferring it to oil, and makes fish patties from the remainder, freezing most for winter.7:48 He inspects the mast boot for leaks, cleaning it and applying self-vulcanizing rubber tape, then plans to check for drips at the next rain.21:51 He pulls the entire anchor chain from the locker — now 85 meters total after adding 30 meters of new chain spliced to the old — and notes the boat sits 5 cm deeper than desired due to anchor gear weight.26:31 He inventories a storage box, discarding old equipment and cataloging seven gas canisters, a drogue, a spare windvane rudder, and lead ballast weights.33:42 A job interview at a local firm is scheduled for Monday.12:50
