Hi everyone! It's been a year and a half now that I've been on Patreon and I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you, no matter with you've been here since the start or if you've just joined!

Here's a quick update from us. The snowy picture is taken just a couple minutes ago, this is the first real snowfall for us this winter. Tomorrow there's a weather and blizzard warning for the area, so we've added some dock lines, taken the headsails off from the furlers and are now hoping for a lot of snow!

We've now made it to Northern Iceland and we'll spend the next month or two cruising in this area. December-February are the "worst" winter months, so it'll be quite slow going.

I've tried to take a regular schedule to Youtube now. I'll be either posting a video or doing a short live stream each weekend (likely on alternating weekends), so there should be something online every Saturday! The latest live stream is from last Sunday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGqSXtEI-N . I'll keep the live streams public for a week or so before hiding them, but if you want you can always get the link from me afterwards.

One more note, we'll likely not have our AIS transmit always on in the future, so you might not be able to follow us on Marinetraffic etc. Instead check the Patreon special tracker https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1lmdEhYcHj51MrimMEZXhMTW5TVTNdOTp&ll=57.7031185192791%2C-5.573320550000005&z=4
I'll be updating this map each time we sail onward :)

Thanks for the support!

Raufarhöfn looks muy tranquilo when it comes to population. Is there even a grocery shop?

Juho Karhu

There is a grocery store that's open 2-3 hours each day. There's a hotel and a campground as well but they're closed, partly because of COVID I guess. There's rather large establishments for fishing boats to drop off their fish though (fish factory), some bigger trawlers come in here every now and then. Cool place :)

Now that i see them again on these pics: why was it that you couldn’t use those wind generators? You mentioned there was a reason for it during rhe live session.

Juho Karhu

hi Joris! the generators are tied off during strong storms (to prevent damage). I don't know how much wind these things can take but they start making very uncomfortable noise at some point :D Currently we keep them tied off all the time since we have shore power from the dock. Will prevent bearings etc from wearing out. Also the wiring for these is a little bit strange, i have to check up on that too...
