What this video covers

Micha maneuvers the boat into the harbor at Krosnes, Iceland, to resupply and dispose of waste.0:05 The approach occurs in calm, foggy conditions with minimal wind.0:05 To maintain control while minimizing speed, the boat enters the harbor at idle or in neutral, though a gear remains engaged to ensure maneuverability for stopping.1:45 Micha prefers docking on the starboard side because the propeller walk pulls the stern toward the pier when reversing.2:11 By positioning the boat parallel to the steel pier and applying reverse thrust, the vessel pulls itself flush against the dock.2:23 Because the pier features rubber tires as fenders, Micha keeps mooring lines slightly loose to accommodate tidal changes and prevent the tires from marking the hull or transferring debris to the deck.2:33 The harbor infrastructure includes a fuel station, a small supermarket, and nearby lodging with available Wi-Fi.0:38
