Hva denne videoen dekker
Tom and Karen transit the west coast of Ireland, opting for the exposed Atlantic route over the Irish Sea to avoid extreme tidal currents.▶ 1:02 Departing from Port Ellen on the Isle of Islay, they complete a 90-mile passage to Arranmore Island, navigating around Malin Head while contending with contrary currents that reduce their speed over ground to 3.4 knots.▶ 7:37 A subsequent 70-mile leg requires motor-sailing into headwinds and a 90-degree cross-swell, which creates choppy, uncomfortable sea states.▶ 6:50 To conserve fuel for the stretch south of Galway, they prioritize sailing over motoring whenever wind conditions allow.▶ 11:48 The crew seeks shelter in Port a Chloi to wait out a small craft advisory, anchoring for two days to avoid an incoming storm.▶ 13:03 During the layover, they hike the local cliffs, noting historical World War II neutrality markers labeled "EIRE" (referenced as IR-63) that warned aircraft of Irish territory.▶ 15:21
