15. Documentary quality coverage of sailing in this region. Keep up the great work for all of humanity!

16. Let’s get this in context: Miles’ casual remark about the wind being 38kts and gusting well into the forties means, in Beaufort terms, gale force 8, gusting up to strong gale force 9. Winds when most sailors are tucked up in the bar, hunkered down somewhere or, if they are out at sea, they’re wondering how many sets of trousers they’ve got left to change into…….But there you are, nonchalantly keeping going, wandering around with a rifle slung over Sally’s shoulder, fending off chunks of ice with a large stick and talking about heading to within 600 miles of the North Pole. Absolutely delightfully bonkers, aided by the waltz music. This should be compulsory viewing for all aspiring sailors, it’s certainly compulsive…….Thank you

17. Stunning sailing, and absolutely stunning scenery. We are so enjoying your adventures now that we have had the chance and the time to catch up. Keep them coming! Dave and Marilyn (Citara 3).😊

18. Svalbard looks like such a magical place. The arctic tern that threw up on you was probably trying to tell you that she has a nest nearby! And to see a minke whale. What an opportunity. I noticed that its mouth looks very much like a porpoise or dolphin's mouth.
    I see there are katabatic winds there too. Juneau, Alaska gets legendary katabatics, locally called the 'Taku Wind', due to the 240 mile long and 40 mile wide Juneau ice field. In the winter and early spring, the air compresses on top of the ice field when the sky clears and the temps drop. I've seen winds up to 70 knots in our harbor and about 10 miles from the harbor, it's not unusual to get 100 knots sometimes, with higher gusts up in the mountains. Really makes winter sailing difficult. We get a lot of spindrift that can freeze onto a boat. Sometimes our large tugs and barges come in covered in ice. Here's what the Taku Winds look like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqexpux2Av8
