At last the time has come - today we start our voyage to NorthWest Greenland.
The last few weeks were so busy trying to clearour desks and also to put the last minute organization together.
Our Kokatat sponsored dry suits arrived and we gave them a first dunking in some big surf that we had here in Israel. The "Expedition" model dry suits are the best in class - in the case our protective wear the choice was easy.
The kayaks, cooking fuel and some other supplies have been transported successfully to Kullorsuaq village up North, shortly after the sea ice cleared and facilitated access to the town.
Also, according to Danish sea ice maps the area northwards towards Melville bay has started to melt so the "roads" are more or less open for us.
We are both looking forward to getting beyond the *SIX* enroute flights, long stop-overs and the probable hassles of overweight luggage.
Once we smell the salt and feel the water under the kayaks the fun will start ..
