SYNOPSIS
Homeward bound! A proper Viking ocean crossing, starting in the town of Torshavn, Faroe Islands and ending in ISBJØRN’s home port of Bergen, Norway. On this passage, we will cross the North Sea sailing past some real gems on the way across. Shetland, Fair Isle and the Orkney Islands are all possible stopovers. These islands are all truly magical places, and will also be giving us good options when planning our crossing and managing weather windows. If you want to earn your 59º North Puffin Patrol Patch, this will be the best passage for you!
typical Weather Pattern
We are most likely to get following winds for the majority of the crossing, but everything is in the cards here. The temperature will be quite cold, so bring warm clothes!
