After another overnight sail we have arrived at
Isafjordur, we are in one of the side fjords off it. We set off
at midnight and motored gently through the night, not that it gets
dark, part way to dusk but you can still read outside.
Today the wind got up and we sailed when
there was enough and took some photos. Overnight and through the morning
there was low cloud, down at a couple of hundred feet, so all these mountains
were cropped. Eventually the patches of sunshine joined and the views
emerged.
We ended up in a different fjord to the one we
intended, as that was under cloud whereas the one here is in
sun. We sailed up, anchored near the top and rowed
ashore.
There was a snowdrift at sea level so we cut steps
up it, using a stone as an iceaxe.
Here is Milly herself.
I am tired after two night sails but we are here
before the west wind, which could have made it much harder work.
