    Svalbard on the second attempt

    The Danish couple Camilla and Jonas Toustrup reached Svalbard on their second attempt this year. Before they headed off on their adventure, they spent four years upgrading and fixing the Dufor 12000 CT from 1979. It was a long process, but now they know their boat, Jera, so they can fix her on the voyage with no end date. That knowledge proved handy from the very beginning. You can follow them on Instagram Journey of Jera. We have just released our Arctic Sailing Program, and it starts in mid-October with sailing with Whales and Northern Lights above 70 degrees North.

    Maria & Vibjörn seiler mot eventyret

    Svenske Maria Erkisson og Vibjörn Distler bor om bord i Urd, en 40 fots stålketch, i Gratangsfjorden i Nord-Norge. Her nyter de fjellene, havet, stormene, midnattsolen og nordlyset. Nå har de sagt opp jobbene sine for å seile sørover til Sverige i januar. Deretter setter de kursen mot Nordvestpassasjen. Du kan følge paret på Instagram Urds loggbok. Hvis du har lyst til å ligge mer på svai denne sommeren, så har jeg akkurat lansert boken Kunsten å ligge på svai. Du finner den på explorenorth.no/books. Her får du praktiske tips til hvordan du skal ankre opp slik at du sover godt om natten. Denne podcasten er en del av Norges Seilforbunds satsning på turseiling, og ikke minst 100 Nautiske Klubben. Her kan du høre de tidligere podcastene fra Explore North. Du kan også høre podcastene på din mobil via iTunes, Spotify, YouTube og andre plattformer. Er du på jakt etter inspirasjon til å seile mer i hjemlige farvann, så anbefales, uten å rødme, boken Norske kystperler – hvordan og hvorfor seile verdens vakreste kyst. Drømmer du om å se knølhvaler og spekkhuggere så kan vi friste med en tur til 70 grader nord i vinter. Der samles hvalene for å meske seg med sild under nordlyset. Sjekk Sail with whales and Northern lights.
