We had a warm welcome in Siglufjordur and the Union Jack was flying at the harbour in our honour before we had finished tweaking the dock lines. We had arrived on the day of the Herring Festival and the place was packed with tents and campers. The party starts tonight with midnight fireworks.
Sally and Simon left Scotland in 2015 on board Shimshal to begin a slow circumnavigation taking in various high latitude destinations. After 3 seasons in Greenland we sailed south to Lewisporte in northern Newfoundland. In 2019 we cruised the Canadian Maritimes. In 2022 & 23 we cruised via New England, Chesapeake, Florida, Cuba, Cayman, Providencia to Bocas del Toro. In late 2023 we transited the Panama Canal in readiness of a Pacific crossing in 2024.
