Ribbing Arctic Norway
We arrived in Arctic Norway a few days ago. Towed the RIB all the way there, 3000 kilometers of driving through cold and snow.
Hopefully the weather will improve, we are in a gale now.
De-icing and launching the RIB in snowy conditions.

With rib in arctic Norway - gale
There is a lot of storm activity in arctic Norway at the moment. This is a video of today. We were a few hours on the water to look for whales during a gale. We stayed in the sheltered area of the fjord.

That takes a bit of commitment! Are you doing this for work or pleasure?

We are doing this to dive with killer whales and whales for photography. In the first place it is fun, also a bit work. Nobody is paying us to be here.

Looking forward to seeing the next instalment! I made a promise to myself not to moan about the cold next time I'm out after seeing that.
