In the summer of 2011 we sailed up the entire west coast of Norway to reposition Widdershins to Tromsø in preparation for next year’s great voyage, and also to test all the systems to make sure she was ready for the trip. The voyage of over 1500 nautical miles took us through some of the most spectacular scenery in the country and as we sailed north beyond the polar circle a spectacular array of wildlife emerged from the frigid waters.
