Thank you very much. It's an awesome experience sailing there. Unfortunately we are not going there the first few years, as we are not in The Caribbean (I prefer Svalbard) :-)
I lived in Frobisher Bay in the 70s....I was a weatherman.... I traveled around Owen Sound, Pond Inlet! Flew many times over Greenland for ice observation in Canada DOT planes... Your pictures bring back so many souvenirs. Hope you will place more videos like these. Your boat is also very ship-shape and lovely! Cheers and Godspeed
Yes, you need to apply for permission from The Sysselman (authority Svalbard: www.sysselmannen.no/en/). Highly recommended. I can alsdo recommend the book "Sail to Svalbard" by Jon Amtrum (say hello from me) - you can find him on fb.

Thank you for sharing! Loved it! Now I’ll have to take a “polar bear swim” when I get there. :-)

Greetings from the garden island of Kauai
Amazing journey ! Must feel like the first exploreres of the land, and the ladies are very brave !
One of the best videos I have ever seen about Svalbard. I have been there once and planning to go again. But now I want to sail :)

Very beautiful....wonder if the boat has some sort of heating element...looks cold out there....sorry if I seem ignorant....
We had a regular boat heater: Webasto. We ran it in the morning and at night. It's very dry up there, so not as cold as you'd think :-)
Incredible ✌️😎
Beautiful land.soo far from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Very brave!!
Great trip guys. Looks like you had some good weather
We did! And it was an awesome trip :-)

Is there any trips to join the team to Svalbard?
There is a sailboat, called Duen III, that does trips to Svalbard. And also Skydancer, I believe.
Should I not be worried to make such journey in a glass fiber hull?
Does one need some sort of special permission to sail up such extreme latitudes?
