Gallery 1: from Iceland to Greenland

From Ice­land to Green­land: Green­land star­ted with Ice­land for us, whe­re we spent two days befo­re real­ly taking off across the open sea to avoid some pret­ty hea­vy wea­ther. Life was much bet­ter in Akureyri’s hot pools, in Eyaf­jör­dur with hump­back wha­les and rain­bows and on Grimsey, the island on the polar cir­cle.

Then came our wea­ther win­dow for the cros­sing. Two days at open sea, taking shifts on the stee­ring wheel accord­ing to nau­ti­cal tra­di­ti­on (every group 4 hours on, 8 hours off) – friends of sai­ling cer­tain­ly got what they wan­ted. We opted for some extra cur­ves on our way to Scores­by­sund, to avoid some are­as of strong winds, so the first part of Green­land that we saw was the rug­ged Blos­se­vil­le Coast south of the Scores­by­sund.
