From Nuuk we have sailed quietly through the night to Maniitsoq where we arrived in the early morning hours. This was so far the first harbour where harbour fees were charged. Furthermore, the town has carefully hidden its charmes behind torrential rainfalls which have made our town exploration rather unpleasant.

We left in the following morning after having reunited with the Northabout which has visited another anchorage on the way northward from Nuuk.

On our way to Tunu, the Hamborger Sund we had the opportunity to watch several humpback whales at the harbour entrance of Maniitsoq. The sound is surrounded by spectacular mountains. We sought shelter from the katabatic winds in a bay to the North of Tunu. Here Olaf caught cod and we feasted on fish together with the crew of the Northabout.
