Northern Brees navigates the Orkney Islands, Fair Isle, and the Shetland Islands in September 2023, managing complex tidal races and narrow passages.Watch The crew encounters significant tidal currents between the Orkney mainland and the Isle of Rousey, where conflicting Atlantic and North Sea waters create turbulent, choppy conditions.7:58 While docked in Kirkwall, the vessel becomes pinned to a floating dock by 20-knot winds, with its keel snagged on a chain anchor; the crew successfully departs by springing the boat off at a 45-degree angle with assistance from the crew of the sailing vessel Rockhopper.11:58 During the passage to Westray, the crew navigates a 100-meter-wide, shallow channel between Vasa Point and the Skerry of Vasa.12:55 A 46-mile planned route to Fair Isle extends to 50 miles due to strong cross-tides pushing the boat east.14:23 The journey concludes in Lerwick, Shetland, where the crew prepares for a 200-mile North Sea crossing to Norway.20:07
