Anchoring in glacial fjords in Greenland presents significant risks due to shifting sediment and tidal changes.3:14 In a bay near Harefjord, the crew of a cruising sailboat reports that the seabed consists of unstable "quicksand" that loses its holding power when the tide shifts, causing anchors to drag despite initial success.3:28 The area features steep underwater drop-offs, with depths changing rapidly from 110 meters to 20 meters and shallower, complicating anchor placement.6:12 Icebergs entering the bay follow a counter-clockwise current, often grounding in shallow areas or near the shore.3:54 The crew prepares for an 85-mile passage to Ittoqqortoormiit, planning a 05:00 departure to arrive before dark, anticipating 10 to 17 knots of wind.19:54 Onboard, the crew utilizes an Omnia oven to cook salmon and rice casseroles, substituting half the required fresh water with seawater to season the dish.15:11 The passage marks the final leg before a planned crossing of the North Atlantic toward Iceland.23:22
