What this video covers
A couple sailing a Garcia Nouanni 43 in Greenland navigates deep-water anchorages to avoid ice and kelp.7:45 They frequently anchor in depths of 30 to 35 meters, deploying 100 meters of chain to secure the vessel in areas where shallower water often contains hazardous debris.18:50 The crew manages the boat under sail in light winds, occasionally using the Genoa alone to maintain control in narrow passages.2:10 They utilize a simple lazy jack system that is pulled to the mast when not in use.14:37 During their time ashore, they practice "glamping" by setting up a tent with portable lighting and cooking meals, including fresh mussels harvested locally.26:34 The pair notes that fuel is relatively inexpensive in Greenland compared to Europe or North America, allowing for frequent engine use when wind conditions are unfavorable.4:45 They emphasize the importance of keeping their dog, Nova, on a leash while ashore to prevent the animal from disturbing local reindeer.21:03
