Geir works some magic! © Magne Klann

Last year my friend Morten Christensen and I went cruising for 18 days sailing 700 nm passed the arctic circle along the Norwegian coast.

We brought tent and sleeping bags, and carried the boat ashore on beautiful, uninhabited islands along the route. This year we went to Denmark and even more magic sailing.

I hope you enjoy!
