Ilulissat to Maniitsoq
Life in Greenland is not all fun in the sun, the glaciers and the spectacular scenery. We left Ilulissiat in the sun after a fantastic collective dinner with our Swedish friends on Ariel IV. It was sad to say goodbye to them as the head towards the Northwest Passage and say goodbye to the icefjord as [...]

on passage
You may be having a heat wave back in America but we are not out here. Two pairs of longjohns, 3 fleece on top of innumerable inner shirts, ski parka for the coldest of winter days plus foul weather gear and never enough hat and gloves. But we would not trade you.

David Nutt
Danza is a sister ship to 'British Steel', the boat Chay Blyth sailed around the world south of the southern capes against the wind. We didn't do that - we sailed around the world with the wind, following the classical tropical route. We left in 2000 when the kids were 4, 8,10 and 12 and returned in 2005, all a little older and perhaps a little wiser.
Danza has been on the hard for the last 4 years undergoing a slow refit outside my barn. The teak deck is gone, 80 square feet of new steel lies under innumerable coats of paint and Treadmaster non skid decking. There was no end to the other work and it all seems to have consumed 3000 hours or more. Maybe I am not, after all, a little wiser.
We leave in a week or so for the eastern Canadian arctic and possibly Greenland. Still busy with the last of the details.
