What this video covers

Micha and Antje sail from the Faroe Islands to the east coast of Iceland, covering 300 nautical miles instead of the planned 250 due to weather and customs requirements.12:38 During the passage, Micha manages seasickness using Scopoderm patches applied the previous evening, noting that Antje experienced symptoms before applying her own patch.3:28 The crew maintains a two-hour watch schedule and monitors weather patterns to navigate around unfavorable northeasterly winds.2:35 Upon approaching the Icelandic coast, the Icelandic Coast Guard directs the vessel to Seyðisfjörður for mandatory COVID-19 clearance.9:41 Although local authorities initially require a two-day wait for a doctor to perform testing, the customs officer intervenes, allowing the crew to depart immediately after confirming their health status.11:46 This intervention prevents the vessel from being trapped in Seyðisfjörður for ten days by adverse weather.12:08 The crew eventually reaches Vopnafjörður after 72 hours of continuous sailing.12:42
