Join us on our sailing adventure through the wild Atlantic Ocean from Scotland to the Faroe Islands!

In this gripping episode, we’ll share the highs and lows of our voyage from Stornoway to Tvøroyri on the island of Suduroy, facing the raw power of Mother Nature head-on. The North Atlantic Ocean is known for its unpredictable weather, and soon, massive waves make Kathrin seasick for the first time.

We witness a breathtaking sight – the sun dipping below the horizon in the north for about 4 hours before rising again almost in the same place.

However, our voyage takes a dramatic turn as we find ourselves in an uncomfortable and dangerous situation. Navigating through an area where 3-meter breaking waves are beaten up by strong tidal currents and gale force winds becomes a true test of our guts and skills.

As we approach the Faroe Islands, we’re welcomed by a stunning landscape of majestic fjords and towering cliffs. But the islands also greet us with Force 10 winds roaring out of the fjords, reminding us of the untamed power of the elements.

Despite the adversity, we safely reach the port of Tvøroyri. Our last challenge is docking Polaris in winds exceeding 40 knots. And we witness a cruise ship that runs aground on the harbour pier, serving as a stark reminder of the risks and skills required in navigating these waters.

Join us as we hike the majestic Clisham and sail from Tarbert to the Shiant Isles and to Stornoway.

We climb the Western Isles’ highest hill, taking in breathtaking vistas. Sail with us to the hidden gem, the Shiant Islands, where we encounter adorable Puffins and Razorbills amidst pristine nature.

Our journey continues to Stornoway, where we chart our course to sail to the enigmatic Faroe Islands.

But first, we explore the ancient wonder, the mysterious Callanish Stones, on the Isle of Lewis.

Brace yourself for awe-inspiring landscapes, wildlife encounters, and thrilling adventures!
