channels and fjords. Prince Christain Sund is between the mainland and the
island of Sanmisoq, its' Greenlandic name means long channel.
As we entered the eastern end of the sound there were some houses and
antenna masts at the weather station, occupied by five "lucky" people all
year round.
The 66 mile journey took the entire day. We sailed passed icebergs,
glaciers and mountains up to 5,000 feet high.
In the afternoon we made a "pizza delivery" at the Aappilattoq settlement.
In addition to the pizza, donations of produce, food and clothing were
delivered to the 130 people who live here. One gentleman and his three
children came out, waving and smiling as they circled the ship.
As the ship exited the sound and headed out to the open sea, I made my first
whale sighting, hope it is not my last.
