Hazel Richards, crew 1st leg
We had champagne on ice to mark our crossing of the Arctic Circle at 66 33′ 772 and made sure we gave some to Neptune to keep Northabout safe on her onward journey. It was a perfect day, the sun shone. We are now heading for Tromso, meandering through the beautiful Fjords I have seen from the sky on my journey to Svalbard a few years ago. I have not been disappointed and to add to my day, the Hurtigruten passed us, taking mail as well as passengers to their stunning island retreats.
So what am I looking forward to next…a shower in Tromso and resupply of the Tucker as we only have our Leader”s pork scratchings left!
