O que este vídeo aborda

After leaving their boat in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands, from December 2019 to June 2020, the crew returned to find significant moisture damage and moss growth on the hull and deck.1:39 Due to the high humidity in Tórshavn, they decided against leaving the vessel there for the summer.2:33 Sailing conditions in the Faroe Islands proved challenging, characterized by a high motor-to-sail ratio of 80 to 20 and strong tidal currents reaching up to 12 knots between islands.2:54 After refueling with 350 liters of diesel in Tórshavn, the crew sailed north to Fuglafjörður, utilizing tidal currents to maintain speeds over 8 knots despite light winds.4:03 Following a brief stay, they decided to sail to Iceland for the third consecutive year, citing better summer weather and the lack of suitable long-term storage in the Faroe Islands.11:50 They used PredictWind Offshore to plan the 250-mile passage, aiming for a 48-hour weather window.12:57 The crew ultimately prioritized the Icelandic coast for whale watching and potential northern lights sightings over remaining in the Faroe Islands.14:24
