For a long time I have wanted to try navigating across an ocean only by compass. I desided to now give it a go, switching off all electronic navigation to see if I could manage to find the small, but incredible island of Fair Isle 212 NM away. I gave all my trust on the a couple of onboard compasses to see were I ended up on the other side of the ocean.
Again, it turned out to be quite the adventure!
