Sailing early season in Svalbard with skiërs. How this does look like?
When the Anchorage is still covered with ice, you need to create your own ice mooring
Fresh footprints in the snow.... but what is it?
It's great to be back at Ny Ålesund harbour. The most Northern settlement in the world. See some familiar faces, take fresh water, bunkers and boat fuel. Not to forget, chips and chocolate 😋
Arrived at Longyearbyen after a windy crossing. Now cleaning the deck from ice and replacing one of our life raft who got lifted of the cradle and inflated on deck. But first, drinking rum and taking a good sleep. On a great early season crossing.
Preparations for the crossing to Svalbard. But first, prepare for the storm tonight in Svolvær Lofoten.
Cruising Lyngen fjords, for sail ski with 10 Swiss guests under the guidance of 2 local mountain guides. Scenic views, fresh powder and Northern Lights.
Thinking of our last season sailing around Svalbard. What an awesome experience that was. Now preparing to get back in a few months. Even better prepared than before.
