O que este vídeo aborda
A crew of three departs Oslofjord aboard a 26-foot sailboat named Dus, bound for Bornholm via Lesø, timing the passage around a forecast westerly wind.Watch The skipper brings his brother Viggo and father Øivind, neither experienced offshore sailors, and sets an explicit rule: pace the passage to the least comfortable crew member, not the skipper's preference.1:29 Departing on a Monday, the plan targets a favorable northeast wind by Friday to cross toward Lesø, requiring the crew to reach a staging position — described as "the edge of the world" — before then.0:07 The first leg out of Oslofjord produces choppy conditions in the inner fjord before the westerly fills in; the boat reaches six knots through Drøbbaksund at sunset.3:49 After dark, crew fatigue prompts a stop at Moss rather than pressing on.4:56 The next day they motor-sail in light air to Østre Bolærne, provisioning at a Rema store, and anchor in the guest harbor there.7:15 One crew member has signaled cold feet about continuing, raising the prospect of a crew change at Vasser.5:44 Managing inexperienced crew on a passage-planning schedule is the central challenge throughout.
