Alongside commercial dock QAQORTOQ (formerly named Julianhaab)
Wind North 2KT,1002 hpa and steady, air temp is 5.1c, water temp is 7.2 c, some small ice chunks nothing dangerous, and we are alongside EAGLES QUEST II
We have arrived at our interim destination, in order to allow Steve, Ben’s father to depart for home. Here we will recharge our personal and ships batteries, possibly refuel, and sort ourselves out. We will be departing Friday early morning for PRINCE CHRISTIAN SOUND to wait for our weather window to depart round Tuesday AM. Unfortunately we have a large revolving storm east of Greenland on our projected track to SW Ireland. It would not be prudent to depart now across the Atlantic with winds in excess of 50KT in some of the sectors of the system, probably more than that at times, with associated waves and swell. Nasty. Much better to wait in safety in an anchorage in the east of the peninsular for our departure window (noon Tuesday onwards) and scoot east piling on canvas, when it settles. IF we are able to get away (i see no reason why not) on Tuesday this would see us in/abeam Ireland on schedule around the 10/13th ish, ABWWP. Lets see!, as we are a small vessel in a large ocean, nature is very much the boss up here. We will respect that fact.
