Thanks for watching and for your feedback!

I think they were saithe / pollock in this episode… cod comes later - and we are still waiting for the halibut… 😂😂

The ferry?

Aww, so sweet! Thank you for watching, Brian, and for your kind words. Sad to hear about Linda, but you know, it‘s the memories we keep and sure she does. And I al glad we trigger fond memories of past times with you. We hope you will like our tales of places new, we‘ll keep them coming! Daniel & Kathrin

@@sailingpolaris thank you so much Daniel and Kath for your prompt reply, I visit my lovely Linda almost every day and show her pics of our yacht Lady Grey which she recognises. Maybe I can send some pics if I find out how.

Thanks for watching. For weather forecasting we mainly use windy.com For bigger passages we use the passage planning function of an app from www.luckgrib.com. Route planning for shorter passages is mostly done on Navionics.

@@sailingpolaris thank you.

Many thanks for watching and for your feedback! Much appreciated.

Thanks for the tip!

Hi, thanks! Planning what?

Thanks for watching Michael!

I‘ll let her know. Should we start a workout channel? 🤪

Thanks Douglas!

Danke Manu! 🥰

Merssi Gäbu!! 😍

😂👍🏻

😂 we didn‘t want to over do it. But, what about my whisky sacrifice then… (i.e. the dram shot…??) 🤪

I concede the whiskey scene was pertinent BUT if you don’t reveal the dram there’s doubt in this audience member’s mind; if it’s a cheap blend then, well ……… but if it’s a Caol Isla, or better still a Kilchoman, then you will have earned the protection you seek from Poseidon & Co. 😂😂😂

🤣🤣 It‘s a Tamdhu 15 years 🥃. Another careful viewer and self proclaimed whisky afficionado commented very approvingly about the quality of the sacrifice in the comments section. Our video #26, should be another testament of the quality of the whisky carried aboard Polaris… 😂😂 And, after this absolutely sensational summer we had in northern Norway so far, undoubtedly both our sacrifices have shown effect. 🌞

Only the best is good enough for the gods…!

Thanks! Hope you enjoy the rest… Greetings from the Arctic!

Thanks for watching and for commenting!

@@sailingpolaris Today I learned a lot of everything watching your video. Really thank you

Thank you for watching and for your kind words! I hope you‘ll find the other videos equally pleasant. Have fun watching! Best wishes from Norway‘s north!

Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy!!

Thanks! 😍

Haha, thanks for the tip! And I hope you enjoy the rest of the videos.

Ha, thanks for watching and for the tip! We are aware of some distilleries up north, Myken is on our radar as well as one further up. We‘ll keep them coming, keep watching 😉

🙄 (Daniel…)

Thanks for watching - is this a valid alternative to fairing? 😉

You know, we traditionaly do not boil the cod. The person who said that probably can't cook or was lost in translation and did not know how to say poach the cod.

@JT-hm1rf it was Sei we were told to „boil“, not Cod. We love Cod but not (yet) Sei… if you have a favourite recipe for Sei we‘d love to know it… 😇

@@sailingpolaris Put filets of pollock (sei) in a mix of flour, salt and black pepper just before you fry it. Fry chopped onion and at the end add some water and broth. Serve with potatoes and vegetables. That's typical Norwegian way.

@KnutHaglePadle many thanks for this recipe - we will try it out!! (Now just need to catch some sei…) 😂

Thanks, will try this one too! 😋

Thank you Regi! You‘ll be stunned when you will be up here!!

😂 thanks for watching and for your uplifting comment!

Yes, we are indeed. Loch Aline is beautiful, only (too) late we discovered it!

Well, and if you have to get a part made it costs you an eye… but hey, it‘s called boats… 😂😂

Thank you for watching and for taking the time to write this kind and uplifting comment! We much appreciate it. And sea swimming is nothing for me either - at least not for pleasure… 😂

Haha, 😂 thanks for making me laugh too! Thanks for watchingNd subscribing! Hope you‘ll like the rest too! There‘s another one on whisky, #26, if you are into Islay whiskies…

Your very welcome , Unfortunately, I very rarely drink nowadays due to my drink being spiked over twenty years ago which left me with a difficult tummy and I cannot eat any spicy or fried foods etc. They call it severe reflux disease ! I call it the same as the Bast_ _ _ that did it. Anyways, have you been along the east coast of Scotland from Engerland towards Edinburgh. East Lothian is beautiful scenery and plenty to see and do. Especially Dunbar with Winterfield Golf club which serves up terrific meal's with view's to match. And of course onwards towards Edinburgh. I shall try and find your other vids soon as poss . P.S. you won't need your wellies at Dunbar unless you intend paddling about outside harbour. Cheers

We didn‘t see a lot of the English / Scottish east coast. This spring we took the Caledonian Canal to Inverness (that‘s about as much…) and then crossed the North Sea to Bergen. Currently we are north of Tromsø / Norway… we have done many videos about the west coast of Scotland…

@@sailingpolaris It's amazing you've seen more of Scotland than most of us have, at present I'm renovating my little motor boat and hopefully I'll be able to visit both the crinan canal and Cale before I pop my clogs. May I suggest a marvelous book new edition called EAST COAST OF SCOTLAND SAILING DIRECTIONS by Andy Carnduff n Forth yacht clubs. Its fully detailed with all the nooks n crannies from Berwick upon Tweed up to Duncansby head it was specifically made for yachties pilot Martin Lawrence. Via Imray. There's always next year perhaps Glasgow or Northumberland and return up north home again. It must be absolutely marvelous sailing all these places and crossing the north sea to Norway, Grateful thanks for education whilst on your travels.

Hi Michael, thanks for watching! Tidal stream: I incorporate this in my boat speed, I always plot 2-3 speed lines, giving me a best - realistic - worst scenario. Where important I also draw the favourable and unfavourable times/ areas on the plan. I don‘t write down the CTS, as I always have a route in my plotter, but you could add this information at every waypoint on the plan. Happy sailing and best wishes from arctic Norway where it is sunny and hot at the moment…

@@sailingpolaris Thank you very much for your fast response an explanation. Since everything seems to be connected to speed how do you adjust your speed when you are underway? Especially when you are faster than expected before a critical point.

@michaeldob2153 reduce the sails or use the engine.

@@sailingpolaris First at all I apologize for asking so much but I will start soon sailing in tidal waters and I try tp gather as many information as I can. I get your point reducing the speed by drooping the sails but how do you drop your boat speed with you engine!? reverse? At home I copied your concept of passage planning and the more I worked with it the more I came to the conclusion that this method is great for Non-Tidal areas. Than a straight line with a constant speed make sense. Since the influence of drift is 0. In tidal waters your boat is influenced not only by wind but also by the tidal stream which can come from any direction. But once again all my thought are just theoretical since I don't have any practical tidal water experience.

@michaeldob2153 I know the average speed of my boat and then I try to guess what tide does to speed. That‘s why I work with multiple speed lines, that give me an idea. This method, as I say in the video, apparently is or has been taught in the Royal Navy and they have engines, which makes their passages very predictable. You‘ll find in practice that sailing and tides, course to steer etc. are never an exact science. Only in some very particular places will it depend on a quarter of an hour and and then I would reduce the sails to reduce the speed or use the engine to increase. The beauty of the method, I think, is also that it shows you how you run vis-a-vis your plan. Regular marks of time and distance to go will show you whether you are too slow, too fast or just right.

We did this trim on 31/7 and 1/8 and that was absolutely fine. Mid-late August is certainly possible although the weather becomes more unstable then and gales become more frequent towards September (which does not mean there aren’t any during the summer…). With a well found boat and time to wait for your slot it shouldn‘t be an issue. Stromness - Stornoway or Stromness - Kinlochbervie (a very sheltered place btw) can be made in 24h and forecasts are pretty reliable on this time horizon.

Thanks!​@@sailingpolaris

Thanks and greetings from Ryøya - found your drawing framed on the wall in the little hut…

We hear this - will try!

Hi John Thanks for watching and good luck with the planning - you will enjoy it! We use wireless bluetooth headsets to communicate at a normal voice. Signs don‘t work for us, particularly in situations when both hands are needed for a job at the bow or when the person at the bow can‘t turn their head back. We call them „marriage savers“… the make is Sena SPH-10. Best regards, Daniel

Learn from our mistakes, don‘t make any new ones and you will be fine… 😂😂😂

And the best: reportedly, there are 2 whisky distilleries. One of the island of Myken and one somewhere north of Tromsø… challenge is on…

Thank you - whilst we do have a drone I hardly ever use it because I am no good in flying it… and I would only ever use it away from everyone and everything. I hate them when they are circling above me…
