This was fol­lo­wed by a mor­ning in the tun­dra bet­ween Farm­ham­na and Eidem­buk­ta and a some­what grey but inte­res­t­ing evening in Coles­buk­ta. With lots of ice in Bore­buk­ta and a few miles under sail towards Lon­gye­ar­by­en, this beau­tiful, eventful jour­ney came to an end. We didn’t reach the drift ice, but to our gre­at delight we were lucky with the polar bears, and what other exci­ting impres­si­ons and expe­ri­en­ces did the­se won­derful days bring! All of this in a gre­at atmo­sphe­re, for which I would like to thank ever­yo­ne, first and fore­most the crew of SV Mean­der of cour­se – thank you to ever­yo­ne, and see you soon in July!

We spent a good two days in the north-west of Spits­ber­gen, bet­ween Bjørn­ham­na and Raud­fjord. Unfort­u­na­te­ly, due to the wea­ther, we were not gran­ted a trip to the drift ice (the wave height the­re was 1-1.5 met­res at the time), so we spent a day in Raud­fjord ins­tead. We didn’t reg­ret the swap 🐻‍❄️😎 and were once again able to see that even with the now legal­ly requi­red distance of 500 met­res (300 met­res from 1 July), an impres­si­ve expe­ri­ence and beau­tiful pho­tos are pos­si­ble.

The mor­ning in Bore­buk­ta was not­hing short of magni­fi­cent. Under exci­tingly chan­geable (harm­less, but beau­tiful) wea­ther con­di­ti­ons, we hea­ded towards Bore­breen.

The after­noon began with a walk at Bohe­man­nes­et and then we sai­led towards Bil­lefjord until we drop­ped anchor in Skans­buk­ta. What a beau­tiful day, once again!
