Into the ice …

Iceland – the clue is in the name, though to clarify things a little further, they do call it the land of fire and ice. Today we spent most of our time with the latter. The moniker is very apposite

Hurtling to Höfn

Once moored in Seyðisfjörður nothing happened particularly quickly. We had to wait to disembark as ambulance staff needed to take off an unwell passenger first. Then we waited for the bus …. About an hour and a half later we

Edging to Eide

With the weather improved and looking more settled we headed off for a sail today. We decided to round the north of Averøya and go once again through the Storeisundet bridge on the Atlantic Ocean Road. This time though we
