Nova Loman departs a Baltic anchorage at 4 a.m., hand-hoisting a mud-caked anchor chain meter by meter — a process that takes roughly 20 minutes — then cuts the day's passage short after short-period Baltic chop makes the boat slam to a near-stop despite light winds.0:36 She picks up a private club mooring buoy in an unplanned bay in Sweden, negotiates permission ashore, and ends up sharing dinner with the club's members.6:35 The next morning, also a 4 a.m. departure, brings following winds and speeds between 5 and 8 knots, but a slow-moving rain squall tracks with the boat for over an hour, shifting wind 50 degrees and forcing two jibes; a preventer prevents an accidental gybe from causing damage.9:32 She explains the practical difference between a solar halo and a corona — a halo, measured by a full hand-width from sun to ring, signals incoming foul weather; a corona does not.21:32 A mainsail car works free from the track, flagged as a repair needed before the next sail.22:55 She navigates a narrow, shallow canal using plotter charts over a phone-based base chart, reaching a minimum depth of 2.6 meters while drifting through in idle.25:01
