We have been driven back to Greenland’s capital Nuuk by a major weather system that is now drenching us with rain. A very grey day in Nuuk.
There’s very little room for a sailing boat here in Nuuk and at first we tied up against a dredging barge but the harbour master didn’t like us there. In fact the harbour master didn’t like us much at all. Such a contrast to the warm welcome we received here last year.
We were moved to a commercial pier which is not designed for our slender fenders but we did what we could with our fender board and ice poles to bridge the fender eating gaps. As we did so the dock drains poured water onto us making this Shimshal’s least favourite berth ever. But, as they say, ‘any port in a storm’!
