We came back to Isafjordur again last night,
for Lorna to catch tomorrow's flights to
Reykjarvik and Glasgow. As it was windy we
moved from the pontoon berth we used last time, where all the boats were
bouncing vigorously. Alongside the
quay our mooring ropes were a little short at low tide. Creaking
ropes and fenders woke me at 3:30 am: Going out to lengthen them was rewarded with this dawn.
 I have achieved my ambition of signing up a young
blonde lady for the trip across to Greenland and Canada. The lack of
concern expressed by Lorna, is because her boyfriend is coming too. They
are a young Estonian couple on a world eco tour. Telling them that we live in a Cumbrian mud hut is nearly true, we do
have three clay walls in Thurstonfield. Sailing across to the Canada
is more eco friendly than flying, but perhaps the cargo of tins reduces the
difference.
Trial sails down the west of Iceland will determine
whether they really want to come; it is a big undertaking for
non-sailors.
Their website is http://pohlad.ee/who/, their blog is in
Estonian. Let me know if you can figure out what it
says. |
