I hoped to be at sea by now (Monday), but yesterday the forecast showed too much wind today, so I am sat in harbour.
 
I collected more forecasts and ice reports this morning.  Early tomorrow is now the plan. 
Sunrise is 5.22, then out to get through the Greenland iceberg zone in daylight.
 
A very large British yacht was anchored off the harhour this morning.  But Qaqertoq is the largest town in south Greenland:
If they cannot tie up even here, they must miss all the smaller places which are always the most interesting. 
 
I met the wife who was rushing round on a schedule before they depart to another anchorage, to be safer if it does blow hard.  We are tied up to a small boat pontoon as so often, and I wander round ashore as I want.  She has 11 on board, usually 9 but two extra friends at present.  I hope 3 of the people on board are staff or it sounds hard work.
 
Now I must dress for dinner:   No, these jeans will do for cooking in. 
But standards do not really slip, I am playing the CDs Lorna brought out to Iceland:  Chopin, List and Sibelius.
