Hva denne videoen dekker

Polaris, a cruising sailboat, navigates the fjords of northern Norway, including a visit to the Jökelfjord to view the Øksfjord Glacier.0:16 The crew monitors tidal currents and depth while motoring through narrow, shallow passages near Tromsø and the Lyngen Alps, noting that tidal turbulence significantly affects speed over ground in these constricted channels. During a 53-nautical-mile transit from Skjervøy to Tromsø, the vessel experiences a speed variance of over one knot between GPS-calculated speed and speed through the water due to opposing tidal currents.10:17 The crew later hosts guests for a 55-nautical-mile passage toward the Lyngen Alps, utilizing a public sauna cabin on a remote island.15:41 Due to persistent light winds and the resulting reliance on motoring, the crew decides against continuing to the North Cape, citing the excessive fuel consumption required for the remaining 250 to 350 nautical miles.14:25
