We
had a difficult decision to make about when to leave after analysing
the forecast knowing we had a very narrow window to reach Greenland.
The boys are tired but they knew we had to take this opportunity.
We were up early at 6am refuelling, packing and we left around
11am. |

It
has been 7 hours of the most beautiful, spectacular scenery any
of us have ever seen through the calm waters of the Southern Greenland
fjords. Mountains of rock rose thousands of feet on both sides
of this narrow channel. The fjord was littered with icebergs and
growlers and we saw a huge whale that rose just 15 metres in front
of us. |

|
We
are now at the mouth of the Eastern coast of Greenland. There
is a tiny remote weather station on the cliff, we checked in with
them and Mike Town back in the UK and god willing it seems clear
for us to go. We have a one way point bearing of 650nm to Iceland. |
| |
Pray
for calm seas and for this depression that is approaching Iceland
from the south stave off. |
