Why we left the Arctic | Sailing Florence Ep.225
DODGING GALES as we sail down the coast of Norway to pass out of the Arctic circle. We search out sheltered natural harbours within the maze of coastal islands, and explore peaks with spectacular views of the archipelago whilst sailing Florence south. But why do we have to leave?
We have sailed over 60,000 ocean miles around the world including a complete circumnavigation on our 37ft boat, Florence. After 9 years of experience sailing in the tropics, this series presents a new challenge and a chance to learn new skills as we sail north to the Arctic. Join us as we share the highs, lows, and challenges of travelling around the world by boat, sailing offshore across oceans and exploring remote locations.
