We arrived at around 11pm local time (9pm GMT) to find Eddy (James's
brother) waving from the quay and indicating an empty yacht berth for us.
Eddy is coming for a couple of days cruise local to Longyearbyen.

This morning we have to check in with the Sysselmann and hire the rifle
etc, so lots to do. Hence we will be uploading a fuller diary entry later.
But we are blocked in at the moment by a huge cruise ship so can't leave
right away in any case. The town is thus full of the living dead as Eddy
calls cruise ship passengers - it's the way they walk: like extras from
'Shaun of the Dead'.
