The 60 mile voyage from Jyttes Havn west through Nordfjord to Harefjord does indeed resemble driving the wrong way down the M6. There are icebergs everywhere compressed into a narrow canyon hemmed in by massive cliffs and hanging glaciers on either side. Those cliffs reach 2,000 metres to towering granitic spires.
This trip is definitely not for the faint hearted but the spectacle and the adventure will leave enduring memories.
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 and in 2024 we sailed to French Polynesia via Galapagos.
