Boat 8 – built at Persico Marine in Bergamo, Italy – is now complete, and is heading to the Boatyard in Lisbon, Portugal to be fitted out. It's a delicate operation, with the boat being delivered via road and sea on a Volvo truck.

Snowflakes dancing on the deck, and then – wow! Look at that plane emerging from the swirling white chaos. Taking off from a frozen airstrip, right there at the edge of the world. The cruise ship's a pretty awesome vantage point, giving us front-row seats to this arctic drama. Imagine the skill it takes to pilot a plane in these conditions. The icy runway disappearing into the blizzard. This is one serious adventure, even from the comfort of our warm cabin. Nature's power on full display, so grab a hot drink and join me for this incredible sight.

The wetlands restoration project is completed. Hopefully it will fill with water in the spring run-off. The wildlife will thrive here for decades to come. A great legacy. Sass and I are headed back to the boat on Monday or Tuesday now. We’re watching the weather and mountain pass highway conditions. Living on a sailboat content will resume shortly!
