1200 hrs 24th June position  63:22N 27:52 W. We left Reyjkavik Iceland 24 hrs ago and are 180 n miles into our 1150 n mile journey. 15 hours of 35 knot winds and the resulting rough seas but now motoring in 5 knot headwind! The latest Ice reports mean that Prince Christiansund is still blocked and we need to stay well off Cap Farvel (60 to 100 n miles)and then turn North and go directly to Nuuk.We are travelling in company with John Andrews on board Suilven and it is good to have a friendly voice to talk to.We are settling in with our new crew Magnus and Laura and need to pace ourselves over the next seven days.
