Day 21 - Restitution
torsdag, juli 2, 2009 at 7:22PM Day 21, 24 June
Position: N 73,37678 , W 47.46996
wind: ca 6 m/s
Distance covered (day): 0 km
The day was used to relax after yesterday’s record sailing. We are now as far North as Upernavik, which is our end point and the settlement we shall order a helicopter transport to. Yesterday, in order to obtain a better angle to the wind and hence to achieve a better speed, we sailed a more easterly course than initially planned. We now have to sail westward about 120 km towards the end of the glacier before we reach our planned pick-up point. We are planning to cover this distance tomorrow. Today will be restitution and relaxing only.
