Do you want to learn more about sailing in Svalbard? The Quarterdeck did a podcast with me after I was skippering Isbjørn for 59-North last year in the Arctic waters. August Sandberg, owner of Isbjørn, a Swan 48, and also an experienced Svalbard sailor interviewed me for the podcast - and it's worth listening to.

Thanks to The Quarterdeck for letting me publish this podcast. Please check out their membership site and join if you feel the calling of the sea. There is a lot of interesting content, and good people who share useful advice and provide insight you won't get anywhere else.

I have just published an updated edition of Sail to Svalbard. You can either order it directly from me or through Amazon.
