Den­mark Strait – 28th August 2019

Accor­ding to the fore­cast, this should be a good day to start the crossing towards Green­land. So we had an ear­ly break­fast and star­ted moving around 8 a.m. Soon, the litt­le island of Grims­ey dis­ap­peared in the low clouds behind us.
 

Gal­lery – Den­mark Strait – 28th August 2019

We kept the cour­se as high on the wind as pos­si­ble, towards the Blos­se­ville Kyst, south of Score­s­by­sund, most­ly making good speed of 7-8 knots. The­re was a nor­t­her­ly bree­ze, 4-5 Beau­fort, occa­sio­nal­ly may­be 6. Not­hing real­ly wild, but nevert­hel­ess, enough to make life dif­fi­cult for tho­se on board who were not used to it, so some retrea­ted to the rela­ti­ve peace and silence of their bunks. The others went on their shifts, kept the ship on cour­se and their nose in the fresh air, which always helps to make time go past quick­ly. So went the hours, one hori­zon fol­lo­wed upon the other one and Green­land would soon rise up behind one of them!
