Sunday we left Nanortalik, having rested there a couple of days waiting for a spare part to arrive from the UK. We motored on to Uunartoq, an island with a very rare (for Greenland) hot spring. Obviously well known for ever by the local inhabitants the Inuit but also by the Vikings. This natural spring is just a hole in the ground lined with rock. The water is around 30 degrees and very pleasant. We could lie in the water and see icebergs in the bay, & just 500m away Destiny's mast. We had the place to our selves for some time and then a local family from Nanortalik came to paddle. It was hard to tell who the children were! The next morning we left at first light (5am) and motored and sailed all day until 8.30pm last light. We have anchored in a small bay just inside Kap Desolation (see the picture) a brooding and wild peninsula. True to form overnight it rained and blew, at dawn we left but we only went an hour down the channels to the entrance to the open sea to meet 30 kts of wind & heavy squally rain. We returned back to our overnight anchorage (always better to return to a known spot in poorly charted areas). So today we have spent sleeping , reading and resting, outside it is the first truly bad day we have had in Greenland, the wind is howling through the rigging as we rock from side to side, the stove is on and the rain is pelting down. Janice is making a cake... It is not all bad.
