This is Børge again. We’re sailing the open sea! The SS “Athene” picked us up today, and now we are riding a stiff northern gale through three–four metre swells. All our equipment is on board, we’re on board and we are in fine shape.
It was a great moment when we saw the sailboat, skipper Thorleif Thorleifsson and his crew – and finally got to leave Franz Joseph Land after spending three weeks camped at Cape Flora. It’s really nice to finally be on the move again! The skipper is charting a course for Murmansk.
Captain Thorleif Thorleifsson is in full control!
