My toughest sea crossing so far! | Ep-5 (2024)

In this episode, I'm finally setting off for Shetland Islands. I have been planning this trip for a whole year and worked very hard to make my new boat ready for it. It finally happened! Besides some seasickness issues, the boat and the equipment performed remarkably well. There's several reasons to seasickness that I experienced; Coffee pre-departure, anxiety from not knowing how the boat would perform offshore, haven't sailed solo this far before. Sorry about the audio level problems which I couldn't adjust correctly. The boat; Mikkel 30, built in 1980 Norway 30ft.
