It is sup­po­sed to be quite win­dy today out the­re off the coast, so we are hap­py to be safe­ly at anchor in this love­ly and well-shel­te­red bay in Lief­defjord. The clouds are han­ging low and the­re is litt­le to see of the beau­tiful land­scape, so we take the mor­ning more or less off and have some time to talk about polar bears in some detail.

Horn­baek­pol­len

It is clea­ring up a litt­le bit in the after­noon, and soon we are out and about again. The clouds have lifted just enough to give us some grey­ish but fine views of Erik­breen, Horn­bæk­pol­len and Lief­defjord. During the hig­hest bits of our walk, we are diving into the clouds. Very atmo­sphe­ric, but it is quite good to know the area pret­ty well now.

Horn­baek­pol­len

After a visit to Hil­mar Nøis’ old hut Texas Bar, we steam on to Mus­ham­na. Tomor­row is also sup­po­sed to be win­dy at sea, so that should be a good place to anchor.
