Brendan has her crew back after their winter break. The weather was calm at first, giving them time to remember lessons learned the last year and get back into the swing of things. They had bird visitors as well as human ones. Some fishermen stopped by and gave Brendan some of their catch.
But the good weather did not last forever. The bad weather struck, and the pack ice was not that far away. The winds were driving them towards the pack ice, the wrong direction for getting to North America. The stove stopped working, and the replacement parts didn't fit. Tim managed to make the stove work on one burner. Trondur caught seabirds often, so they had fresh meat.
The wind was still blowing them in the wrong direction, and they kept getting soaked by waves. They had to pump the boat out often or they would be waterlogged and the waves would sink them.
More soon!
