The crew of Northern Brees launches their vessel in a shallow harbor near Mau, Denmark, after a winter on the hard.1:20 Because the harbor depth is 2 meters and the boat draws 2.6 meters, they time their departure for June 6 to coincide with a 52-centimeter tidal surge driven by favorable winds.5:35 After a short stop in Hals to provision, they sail to the Danish island of Leso, where they install a remote monitoring device to track GPS location, battery levels, temperature, and bilge water status via a mobile app.6:46 They then complete a 40-mile passage to Gothenburg, Sweden, navigating through heavy commercial traffic and island clusters to reach the Royal Gothenburg Yacht Club (GKSS).10:36 Mooring at GKSS requires bow-to-dock lines and stern lines secured to pilings, a maneuver complicated by side winds.10:45 The crew explores Gothenburg’s historical fortifications and botanical gardens before evaluating two potential routes to the Baltic Sea: the Gota Canal or a coastal passage around the southern tip of Sweden.16:53
