Nuuk has been fun, we went to the solstice festival, ate seal, swam at the pool a couple of times and provisioned. We fuelled up this morning. There were 5 pumps with only one saying diesel but 3 of them actually did have diesel. There's a large rock upon entering the fuel dock, luckily Francis from SV Snow Dragon warned us about. The store there sold snacks, oil, guns, hats and there were odd embalmed animals hanging from the walls. Every place we go into is interesting and I have to hold myself back from taking random pictures. We bought a hand reel for fishing arctic char, red bull, wool socks for Crew, spare pair of sunglasses for Carl and the fuel 5,000+ krone.
Today we have left and are heading for who knows where. We plan on motoring/ sailing until dinner time and finding an anchorage. We're taking the inside route amoungst all the rocks and cliffs. Some of it is unchartered so fingers crossed we don't hit a rock. It's so beautiful. Greenland isn't green, we haven't seen any trees and even the grass is brown because summer hasn't quite hit yet. There's patches of snow everywhere, even at the waters edge. The girls are just dying to get off and play in the snow.
