The planned inland route was abandoned as the passage looked to shallow, so we have gone offshore, and are now faced with a fogbank. I’m off to the bow again, and will report on what happens later

A most fabulous experience on Northabout and words do not do justice to the splendour of this experience, but i’ll try to get my reactions down.

“After last night’s northern lights spectacular I woke this morning in this cold remote anchorage to the sunrise and flat calm water. We feasted on porridge, and then Steve flew the drone to capture the moment, and we upped anchor aiming for Julianehavn late this afternoon. We soon saw ice, but little need to take avoiding action. i stood in the while for a while and a whale was seen blowing a couple of times in the distance.
