A dream became a plan, and that plan is becoming memories.
Thanks to so many amazing people who have helped us achieve the dream of sailing in higher latitudes, sailing amongst these ice giants has become a reality I wasn't fully sure we would manage.
The last 2 days were relatively nice, easy sailing, thanks to the epic crew we were so lucky to gather with
@solosailingsapphira and
@luke_franklin01.
We arrived into the ice zone almost exactly as the sun started to come up, and it was very quickly evident as to why the advice so strongly says not to approach these ice laden areas in the dark. There were monstrous icebergs and a lot of smaller bergy bits and growlers in our way as we sailed slowly towards Qaqortoq. At one point our visibility was reduced to less than a quarter of a mile, but between the three of us we managed to make safe progress until the fog cleared.
The final miles into Qaqortoq were dotted with huge icebergs that were amazing to see. And we were lucky enough to find a smaller berg that was safe to approach and spend some time around taking photos and soaking it all in.
For now the crew needs some rest and beer. Then we will venture into some of the more remote areas of Greenland on our way to Iceland.
Ps, first iceberg photo on seapeople?
