Cosa tratta questo video
Daniel and Kathrin sail their boat, Polaris, from Tromsø to circumnavigate the island of Senja in northern Norway.1:57 To navigate the coastal waters safely, they use the website barentswatch.no to identify stationary fishing nets marked by AIS emitters, allowing them to plot detours around active gear.4:14 During the passage, a blown fuse disables the anchor windlass, requiring a manual reset once the boat reaches open water.9:45 The crew anchors in Giska and later in Hamn, a former fishing station converted into a hotel and holiday village.9:26 When anchoring, they verify holding by reversing the engine to 2,300 rpm and observing a transit line between a fixed object on shore and a buoy.11:56 Despite a calm forecast, shifting winds cause the anchor alarm to trigger during the night at one stop.15:09 The trip includes hiking in the Senja mountains and foraging for chanterelles.18:53
