some days when i look at the ocean here in the "ROCK" I think of Windora and her crew , I sure hope you are somewhere safe and sound from the winds of torment in our wonderous planet of oceans !!!!!
Nice to hear from you Bill, Lynda and I are still living abroad Windora back home in NZ. Being tormented by the wind as we biuld our cabin in Wairangi Bay at the head of Squally Cove. Onboard with the fire going its hard to believe all the far-away places around the planet she has taken us to. Phil
At 1259 the blue line on the iceberg clearly shows it's not level. Beautiful images, nice crew. Thanks for posting and best wishes for your future endeavors…
We have had no internet for several months as we have been cruising Fiordland and Stewart Is, thank you for your kind words. We have close friends in New Foundland and enjoyed sailing there. Phil and Lynda
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
We sold our boat last year, miss sailing. Would be up for a trip there. Hey, we had Simon Willis sails too. The best sails we’ve had. On a Cape George Cutter. Nice pics and video.
I just stumbled across your videos. Amazing channel. Do you have any video that talks more about your sailboat specs e.g. how long is she, beam, the draft, etc.

Sailing so close to those icebergs is risky and dangerous, the wake of your boat is enough to to make them capsize, or a piece fall off. That could destroy your boat.
The moment you leave the house and go and do something with your life Something could happen. There's sum degree of risk in most things Lynda and I do, you either learn measure it and apply to what we are doing at the time or die we are still here and still very much alive Phil and Lynda
Phil Thank you for your immediate, and courteous reply. True life is dangerous, every activity has some measure of risk. Here is the way I see it. I have lived in Newfoundland all my life, ( some of Newfoundland is a lot like Greenland and sail my 35 ft boat both the summer and spring . And have seen many many icebergs. As well I witness them decay from day to day- see them roll over, pieces break off, and huge chunks come up from the bottom , and come to the surface with force. Block boats into poor harbours. When you think about it, all icebergs will fall apart, decay or roll over, they don’t just melt benignly. It is just a question of when. When I saw the boat so close to that berg, I wondered if you were cognizant of that risk. Like many beautiful things , they are dangerous , there beauty hides there danger. Be safe, have fun .
Phil and Lynda, well come on back to Newfoundland then boy! We got lots of icebergs, Whales seabirds, seals, nice boats, rocky coastline.... Everything Greenland has, but not as remote. Honestly, it amazes me why so many cruisers go to such remote destinations like Greenland, Antartica and those remote southern ocean islands, yet completely overlook Labrador with its 400 miles of coastline , rugged mountains, Fjords, plenty of fog, and Caribou to boot! Please come back and do an expose on Labrador!
A little late to the party but I'm curious about some things regarding your trip: What documents and forms did you need to get processed in order to visit the waters around Greenland? My understanding is that it is a Danish possession, so foreigners need to schedule their trips with the authorities in Denmark and Greenland.
You realize we are Kiwis, we don't ask anybody anything we just turn up and look them in the eye. And never talk to anyone on the radio. After thousands of miles and hundreds of countries it never been a problem. Best of luck. Phil and Lynda
@@philandlyndachristieson8808 Very interesting trip. We sailed from Sweden- Reykjavik - Prince Chr. Sound - Nuuk - east coast up to Caroline Amalie - Rekjavik - Sweden. We sailed east coast from 10-15/8 2019. What date did you sail the east coast?
So amazing. What an adventure. I hope to sail there one day as well. Thank you.

When did you visir Greenland?
Last year

From the 23/07/19 to 30/07/19 had a high pressure over us great weather

Beautiful! But too bad they leave all the rubbish on the islands
We introduced them to our rubbish. These where highly educated people before likes of us turned up. We gave them our gods and de-educated them.

Phil and Lynda Christieson So true.
