A solo sailor navigates through thin ice in a fjord near Isafjorde, Iceland, on April 18, while planning electrical upgrades for the upcoming season.0:07 The vessel encounters light ice floes that require careful maneuvering, though the conditions remain manageable as the sun rises.Watch During the transit, the sailor identifies a broken cable on the starboard solar panel, which explains a recent drop in energy production.5:41 Upon returning to the home port, the sailor replaces the damaged panel and installs an additional 50-watt unit to increase total solar capacity to 250 watts.11:55 The installation utilizes adjustable mounting rails to accommodate the curved shape of the stern arch, ensuring the panels remain inboard to avoid contact with quay walls in tidal harbors.13:58 The sailor also prepares a spare throttle cable for the engine as a redundancy measure.12:12 The project concludes with the solar array fully operational, providing a stable power supply for the season ahead.17:47
