Yep, time slips away! My last post was from Iceland, and in the mean time we cruised south-east Greenland and now we are on our way to Canada. East-Greenland was terrific: great weather -yes, its the end of september and its warm and sunny, although we saw some fresh sea ice in the evening - we met nice people in remote settlements like Apilatoq in the Prinz Christian Sund. 130 or so Greenlanders leave here, doing some fishing activities and seal hunting. Other than that there is a school, a church and the typical supermarket. In Qassiarsuk we met the sheep farmers, a very different culture. Here 40 people make a leaving on raising sheep, then shipping the animals to the slaughter house in Qaqortok, and of course making hay for the other sheep they keep over the winter. And last but not least, Qassiarsuk is the place were the Vikings settled around 930. On monday we reach east Canada and we have a number of landings already planned. I'll keep you updated... |
