Godhavn to Upernavik

07 August 2011 | Upernavik
We arrived in Upernavik in the very early hours of this morning after an interesting passage. There were a lot of very large and small icebergs to avoid once we'd past Disko Island, something to keep us busy on our watches. We even saw two seals on one iceberg which was great! There hasn't been much wind to speak of and today was so very warm and sunny. Upernavik is a small town of about 1000 people situated on an island with stunning views of the bay, other islands, interesting rock formations and of course icebergs. One just drifted into the harbour today but fortunately missed us! It is a very quiet place (especially this morning) and it was good to stretch our legs and explore as much as we could of the island. We haven't been able to get the internet here, so currently our only source of communication is via the sat ph. Our apologies also for the lack of phone calls or emails to family and friends, hope to get in touch properly soon! We'll try to update the blog using the sat ph as we go along but won't be able to get any pictures up until we are next in port. It's most likely that we'll be leaving Upernavik tomorrow for the next part of our adventure..
