The three of us are now well on our journey to Norway with the Port of Tromso being the main goal we currently have in mind. Should the weather allow we may pull in for a short visit to the half way point of the Island Bjornoya however as the anchorage there has reportedly poor holding it may not be a viable option. Its really cold - cooler in fact than the far North but our progress continues, running south before a steady force 6 north westerly wind. We're back to standing watches of 3 hours and spending the rest of our time keeping warm with slightly envious thoughts of the heatwave reported in the south of England from our Ice watch stations.
