Day 23- 27 - Nanortalik to Unartoq and exploring the hot springs

 

Unartoq is a gorgeous uninhabited island with Greenland’s only hot springs.  Three pools exist and their use dates back to the first Viking settlements about 1,000 years ago.  Today they are enjoyed by locals and anyone that wishes to visit with a boat that can get there… being at the edge of civilization, with a view out over iceberg strewn waters, they are a rather unique experience.

Day 12,13 and 14 - Destination Iceland

The crossing from Faeroe Islands was a bit lumpy as we again raced across the 380 miles keeping ahead of a developing gale. Arrived ;) Some marina views.  Exploring the rough nature. Explored Vestmannaeyjar last night and took on diesel this morning before departing for Reykjavik we plan to arrive in time for a nice dinner. Tomorrow we will visit geothermal pools for some rest, swimming and saunas.  Starlink is working very well!  Streaming movies and eating popcorn at will :)

Day 1 - Heusden to Scheveningen with a twist

  Today we  woke up early and set our course to Rotterdam at a nice speed of 12 knots we had an easy cruise to Hoek van Holland where we entered the North Sea. Along the way we saw the shipyard of luxury superyacht builder Oceanco and even the Arch of Noah.  During the trip we heared in the news that there was a severe storm expected during the night. Even Amsterdam airport was expected to close down. So we did some calculations, based on a semi displacement speed of 16 knots we could make it to Lowestoft before the storm would break loose. So instead of staying the night in Scheveningen we only had a very nice Fish dinner at Catch by Simonis. At 07:00 PM we set course to Lowestoft where we arrived at 02.00 AM (Dutch time). We raised the UK Visitors flag and 6 hours later we heard on the radio that In the Netherlands the heaviest summer storm ever was measured and Schiphol was closed for several hours in the morning.    This was our trip on Marinetraffic:
