Day 11 of the trip from Hawaii to Prince Rupert. This day started as misty as it ended. But out of the blue (actually the white) came a surprise—another whale! It was alone and we only saw it twice before it returned back into the deep, but still! We think it was a humpback and that it was alone. We are also changing to Prince Rupert time, one hour at a time, and today I was on the “lucky watch” that only had a two-hour shift (just joking, but the real win is not having your rest cut). To end the day, we were treated to a “pudding,” which apparently is a dessert that is not necessarily pudding. Today it was, in fact, a blueberry crumble pie. The “pudding” was amazing—thanks, Mary!

Departure from Bergen!
The crew on the women’s sail training on Isbjorn is settling into a great routine for managing the boat and life onboard.
The sun sets on another journey
The hardest part of sailing across French Polynesia wasn't the night watches, the heat, or the open ocean — it was the prospect of being trapped on a small boat with a group of strangers. First-timer Natalie boards as a self-described land crab and discovers that the sea has a way of reshaping both your sea legs and your assumptions. What follows is dolphins, sharks, the Milky Way in full technicolour, and a crew that somehow made the whole thing better than she ever imagined.
