The crew of the 38-ft sailboat Northern Brees transits the Polish Baltic coast, navigating from the Gulf of Gdansk to Dziwnów. During the approach to Gdansk, the crew fails to monitor VHF channel 16, resulting in a boarding by Customs and Immigration officials who issue a formal reprimand.1:39 The vessel later navigates a narrow, 60-to-70-foot-wide channel in the historic Gdansk shipyards, requiring multiple backing maneuvers to dock.4:46 The crew notes that their 2.6-meter draft limits port selection, forcing them to bypass several shallower harbors along the coast.20:38 While sailing between Hel and Leba, the crew executes a wing-on-wing downwind passage, noting the difficulty of managing a single down-guy during jibes.15:16 The transit includes stops in Hel, Gdansk, Leba, Darlowo, and Dziwnów, where the crew observes local maritime history, including the site where survivors of the Wilhelm Gustloff were brought ashore.16:34 The Baltic region offers extensive, uncrowded sandy beaches and minimal tidal constraints, though prevailing winds often require careful passage planning.21:15
