saying goodbye

the other swedish boat ariel iv is leaving on their way to anchorage in alaska
and you can also see the polish boat solanus on their way to vancouver and then later on cape horn
and which i first saw from the chopper same day i arrived in greenland
we have been like a family sailing quite close together in this dangerous place















and i'm saying goodbye to anna who will stay in canada for the winter

cambridge bay

dear friends

this is the final stop of this beautiful but cold sailing tour

i just booked a very expensive flight back and i will be in copenhagen on the 1st of september if everything works out fine

a little earlier than expected but we sailed really fast

i will soon update with a video from this whole adventure

and i hope i see you soon

crowded

4 sailing boats mooring in gjöa havn and 2 passenger ships
one of them M/S BREMEN!!!
gjöa was amundsens boat when he first sailed through the NW passage
and gjöa is the first real city we enter in canada
and where we first meet some canadian inuits after more then one week sailing

false bay

2 swedish sailing boats in the same bay
something is probably false here
and once more in the morning there comes a large passenger cruising ship into this bay

polar bear

i have a new dangerous friend

dundas harbour

our first stop in canada
when we woke up in this morning there was a large passenger icebreaker in this place far from nothing
and 55 tourists invaded the land
and we thought we would be alone

canada

first view of canada

last night in greenland

we found one last beautiful place were we could get some sleep before our crossing
but when walking around on land i found this human scull
strange

leaving greenland

today we will leave greenland going towards the northwest passage in canada
probably it will take a while for the next internet connection
so don't worry if i don't update this blog in a while
cu on the other side

tsunamis

icebergs can be dangerous in many different ways
when gigantic icebergs are calving there will be a tsunami and a warning over radio
and my skipper told me if we are close to a huge iceberg calving i should run fast into the boat and close the hatch and hold on

nature

not so many trees on greenland

icebergs

some more icebergs

upernavik

arriving in upernavik
this is probably our last harbour in greenland
we will wait for our new satellite phone here and then wait for good weather and the right ice conditions before we will cross to canada

night watch

sunrise under my watch
