A fabulous first glimpse of what the Faroes are about! Today we went for a good hike on land. After days at sea, it is always delightful to stretch the legs for more than 14m. We were blessed with a ...

Last stop before the Faroes. The wind as been kind to us all the way up the coast of the UK, albeit in the face the whole time. With headwinds, Seabelle cruises well but the motion is not always the m ...
