    The sea ice around the ship.
    1And it got worse!Inside the Fredheim restaurant.

    We are sailing part 2. Plus update.

    12. August in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    There’s a new footprint. However, Find Penguins decided to put it before’ Seattle to Ship’.
    After I posted the weather changed and the pack ice got thicker. So much so that the captain announced that we were turning back as the ice was too problematic. This ship is able to deal with ice up to and around 1 metre thick. So clearly the ice was an issue. The ship did shudder and shake for quite a while. He is hoping to find a clearer path further south. Plus we were (still are) enveloped by sea fog. Right now I don’t know if we are coming or going.
    So what is a girl to do? Quick pre dinner negroni and then a delicious Filipino based meal in the Fretheim restaurant. Excellent pork belly main course.

    Reisenderseems like the captain made a good decision…… “The greatest challenge was sea-ice, which blocked the channels between the islands during winter and remained frozen in bad summers. It could damage or crush ships. Explorers could die of starvation if their ships were stuck in ice for several years”

    ReisenderWe went a little further south. The captain decided to sail on instead of stopping to try to avoid the worse of the ice.
