Bra­ve Mara­thon-run­ners do their work in and near Lon­gye­ar­by­en, while we get rea­dy for action on Anti­gua. In the after­noon, we are rea­dy to set sail on Anti­gua, and that is exact­ly what we actual­ly do as soon as Cap­tain Robert has said hel­lo to ever­y­bo­dy. A brief intro­duc­tion turns us all into real sai­lers, and soon the can­vas goes up into the bree­ze, and the rea­son­ab­ly warm sun sees us sai­ling out of Advent­fjord and nor­thwards, across Sas­sen­fjord.

We have set cour­se for Skans­buk­ta, whe­re we drop the anchor for the night. It is a won­der­ful nort­hern evening in good com­pa­ny, many here on board have been on Anti­gua more often than some of the crew!
