At Tassilaq, first Internet connection since Iceland, and our last stop in Greenland. Tomorrow we head via Iceland (to drop Josh off) for home. 12 days of E Greenland, from Kangerdlugsuaq Fjord to Ammassaliik Island. So many superlatives. Mind blowing things many times a day, at times exhausting. Shot eider duck. Lake trout & Arctic char caught, ate a char raw - fantastic. Wrestling with bergs assaulting us. Floating at peace thru the night anchored to a berg. Swimming in the sea or lakes. Titanic crags everywhere, crazy savage mountain surfaces exploding 6000' into the sky. Tiny intimate anchorages found purely by luck & instinct. Vast vistas. Fogs & layers of fog thru which mountains are glimpsed. Whales blowing, and fluking beautifully, showing their tails in slow motion. Away tomorrow, probably to Grindavik, SW Iceland. Teddy is ready to go.

Random moments captured by Hue
I would like to share these random memories from my passage as I don't have the time to write a story around each of these moments. They may not be in chronological order but they are in some sort of order, at least in my mind . Excited and wide-eyed, we had little idea what we were in for, not even that Nick was born deaf until we stepped off the bus. He mentioned in emails that he preferred to communicate via writing because he's deaf but we both assumed that he's hard-of-hearing; people tend to throw the term 'I'm deaf' around too casually and don't literally mean it. We both agreed on the bus that it'll be a great adventure, no matter what happens, even more so when we met Nick face-to-face. I don't like to look up photos of places I'll be going to nor people I'll be meeting because I don't want to be clouded by what I've seen or to have any preconceived bias. Nick sent me links to previous blogs but I intent...
