Sail Green: Rally with a Cause

Though they’re sailing for enjoyment and to see the world, participants in the Blue Planet Odyssey will also lend a hand to a range of scientific and educational endeavors.

The Waiting Game

The crew of Aventura pass the time in the Arctic while waiting for the ice to open up in the Northwest Passage.

Icebound

We are happy to be in this protected bay … and wait.

Gun Ho in Nuuk

When I went to say goodbye to Anders, I expressed my astonishement at how simple it had all been. I also asked if there is much crime given the ease of obtaining a gun. ‘None to speak of. Greenland must be one of the safest places in the world.’

Old Nuuk

The strategy for an east to west transit of the Northwest Passage

In preparation for the transit of the Northwest Passage, I have been in contact with sailors who have accomplished a transit in recent years, have attended several lectures on the subject, have read all relevant material that I could find, and have also consulted people who have worked in that area.

National Day concert

Midsummer Day in Nuuk

Orkney fishermen waving at us as we pass them, the harbour master of Greenland’s main commercial port is waiting until close to midnight to welcome a yacht? Is the world changing, or is it just that in such remote places people still behave as everyone used to … once upon a time.

Dodging Ice

Soon we were dodging small bits of ice, then larger ones, and finally mini-icebergs the size of Aventura.

Greenland Landfall

Just before 11 o’clock local time, the sun came out, the mist cleared and almost exactly ten days after our departure from Stromness in the Orkney Islands we caught a glimpse of Greenland.
