Reykjavik, Oslo, Longyearbyen, some warm days in civilisation between Greenland and Spitsbergen. Swimming pools with natural hot water. Museums with relics from famous polar expeditions. Back to the arctic comfort zone. Back home. Impressive amounts of equipment need to be sorted (too much, as always). Meanwhile, SV Antigua is already in port.

A trip into the unknown begins with well-known routines. (Well, not really into the unknown, of course. But we don’t exactly know what the next days will bring, that is the nature of this way of traveling).

People have to get used to each other and to the ship, and then we are off. Course west and then north. Meanwhile, arctic autumn is showing off. A beautiful sunset behind the west coast.
