Sailboat Florence crew steering through Norwegian fjord at dusk
O que este vídeo aborda
Amy and Matt sail their Oyster Marine 37 Heritage, Florence, through the final stretch of Norway's coast, covering a 140-mile overnight passage south to the lighthouse island of Ona before pushing into an unnamed fjord near Ålesund.▶ 2:33 The overnight run departs from a quiet island anchorage in the Helgeland archipelago when afternoon wind arrives; they take the outside route around a rocky island group for simpler night navigation, threading a narrow gap under asymmetric spinnaker before reaching open water.▶ 3:38 Fog at dawn puts them on radar watch for vessels not showing on AIS.▶ 12:01 They motor the last nine miles into Ona, a harbour of 14 year-round residents whose old fishermen's warehouses are being converted to homes.▶ 13:58 Continuing south past Ålesund, they tack up a quieter alternative to Geirangerfjord — wind funneling down from glaciated peaks forces repeated tacks — using a staysail-backed-to-mast system specifically chosen for fjord sailing.▶ 21:27 From the anchorage at the fjord head, Matt and Amy hike the 1,100-metre peak Sloggen, gaining views of Florence far below and of Ålesund and the open ocean beyond.▶ 32:06 The staysail arrangement, chosen before the voyage specifically to simplify tacking in Norwegian fjords, proved its worth on the first real test.▶ 21:38
