Sailing on Svalbard is always challenging and rewarding. When I was there this summer, sailing as skipper on ISBJØRN in the 59North-fleet we sat down with August Sandberg, owner of ISBJØRN, Emma Garschagen, very experienced sailor in 59North and host for this edition of the podcast, Øyvind Nilsen owner of Duen Experience, running charters in Arctic Norway, and me, Jon Amtrup, host on this Explore North podcast. We share our experience and fascination for the high latitudes. Enjoy.
