Cosa tratta questo video
Micha and Antje, sailing the 70-degree north latitude in East Greenland, struggle with a recurring engine performance issue while navigating toward Ittoqqortoormiit. The engine loses power and stutters after five hours of operation, specifically above 1,500 to 1,800 RPM.1:07 Despite replacing fuel filters, the host suspects a blockage in the fuel line between the main tank and the engine.1:42 He attempts to clear the line by back-flushing it with a custom adapter and a flexible wire, successfully removing debris that had accumulated in the water separator.1:49 The crew navigates through dense ice fields and large icebergs near the entrance of Scoresby Sund, often relying on the engine due to light winds and heavy swell.11:35 They encounter significant navigational hazards, including icebergs with archways, and must maneuver carefully to avoid collisions.18:16 The passage concludes with their arrival at Cape Tobin, a historic whaling settlement, after a 45-mile transit.27:45
