Kin of Sal and a Humpback

Winds today are not favorable for sailing north and with the next 2 days promising good southerly winds, we rather spend the time loitering in the enormous fjords. Also we might visit a settlement and / or a glacier. Unfortunately weather is overcast with rain and fog at times.

We leave our spectacular anchorage in a circumnavigation of Kin of Sal. Jörg at the helm, I dare fly the drone. Spectacular.

We catch up with Vanuily, who left earlier but chose a longer route. Jointly we sail up the Ammaqqoq fjord and part ways thereafter. When rain, wind and general nastiness increase, we revert to indoor helming. I cook-up a nice stew for lunch while cliffs and glaciers drift past the windows.

The passage of the narrow creek in front of Kangaamiut is a highlight in itself. To top things off, a humpback whale is passing just outside of the village. Absolutely amazing. I capture a few of its surfacing with the camera.

Now we are on the way to a glacier, should be nice. And tomorrow we head out and continue north.Read more
