Skipper Haakon reports:

Hoy there, a little late update from Alma⚓

So the last 3 weeks Alma did two attempts to reach the east coast of Greenland more accurately Tassilaq.

1st attempt we got stopped by very close drift ice about 95nm of Greenlandic coast. After about 24h of trying to navigate through the ice and due to the incoming hurricane we were forced to sail back to Iceland 🧊

2nd attempt, 1 week later with new crew and much better ice conditions we still met even closer drift ice approx 15nm from Greenlandic coast about the same time as we got a gearbox malfunction and was forced to turn around yet again. With NE wind direction developing to E and later SE our best course with the sails was straight S and led us approx 200nm S of Iceland where we drifted/sailed slowley away from any form of land for 3 days while waiting for better winds 🌊

Eventually we got a tow from a German research vessel who were going to Reykjavik.

Although it was not an emergency, the weather didn't look favorable for the next week and we very much appreciated the tow so thanks to Merian s. Maria🩵

So, now Alma is docked in Reykjavik waiting for a new crew and good winds to take us back to Northern Norway. Greenland was not meant to be this year, we surely did everything we could to get there but when mother nature says "no", that's a force not to be reckoned with. In the end we are very happy that we managed to get out of the ice and stormy weather without any damage to the ship or crew 🙏

And with new stories and lessons learned Amundsen Adventure lives on to sail another day ⛵🧭

Here's some footage from the ice, that only got closer and thicker as we went. More content from the trip will be posted in the coming days and weeks. Although we didn't get to our planned destination we did have an awesome experience, so i will be posting a lot of that in the near future 📷

Polishing, priming & varnishing Alma. It's a very rewarding work and the result is a beautiful and healthy boat ⛵

One layer of varnishing every 24h and a total of at least 6.
Hoping that the weather stays good now for a while so we get as many layers as possible before we sail to Lofoten for the summer 🌞

If you're wondering what to do this summer, wonder no more..
Join Alma and the crew as we sail through the best of Lofoten and Vesterålen, going on beautiful hikes and watching whales, kayaking, fatbiking, eating fresh selfcought fish prepared by the crew, maybe on a bonfire 🐟🔥

This week's campaign: 5 days w/ Best of Lofoten & Vesterålen 17.500,- NOK - all inclusive
The trips will goes between 10th of June and 5th of July 🌅⛵️❤️

Who We Are and What We Do? ⛵️⚓️

28/04/2024

Birds and Wildlife Andøy består av de fem reiselivsbedriftene Stave Camping & Hot Pools, Puffin Safari, Arctic Ocean Lodge, Marmelkroken og Whale2Sea.
Disse bedriftene har gått sammen med mål om å realisere potensialet på Andøya innen fugl- og naturbasert reiseliv.

Andøya er et fugleparadis – blant landets ypperste. Dette ønsker de å synliggjøre og tilrettelegge for ved å videreutvikle eksisterende produkter og utvikle nye produkter som vil øke oppmerksomhet og attraktivitet for Andøy som en av de beste fugl og wildlife destinasjonene i verden.

Tirsdag 16. april reiser de til Bodø for å møte alle bedriftsnettverk i Nordland i regi av Innovasjon Norge.
Vi er så heldige å ha prosjektledelsen for Birds and Wildlife Andøy. Et utrolig spennende prosjekt å jobbe med.

International Women’s day 8. March 2024

❤️⚓️❤️⚓️❤️⚓️❤️⚓️❤️⚓️❤️⚓️❤️⚓️❤️

Little has been written about women in polar history.

Monica Kristensen from Norway 🇳🇴 has in common with Roald Amundsen 🇳🇴 and the Swede Salomon August Andrée 🇸🇪 - that she was the main character in a polar drama that caused death - but it is Amundsen and Andrée who have been given hero status.

Monica Kristensen broke barriers because she was the first woman to realize polar ambitions in line with her male predecessors.

That not everything she bet on was successful does not make her any less significant.
Monica Kristensen inspires women.

Do you challenge your own limits - and want to go with us on expeditions ?

Welcome aboard ❤️
