This morning Capt. Eric reported that Fiona was 350 miles southwest of Nuuk, Greenland in the Labrador Sea. The weather is fine but the winds are light. He e-mails via single side band radio, "All well on board."
Fiona averages 100 miles per day over the course of a trip, typical for a sailboat of her size. Using that reckoning she should arrive in Nuuk (formerly Godthab) on Thursday PM. All going well, I will arrive Friday around noon and go down the quay to greet her.
Today I'm wrapping up my packing operation. Like another northern traveler, "I'm making a list and checking it twice."
