08/01, at sea in the Norwegian Sea: After two days in Reykjavik, we cruise open water for two days. We’re traversing the home of countless watery tombs of German U-boat submarines and destroyers from WWII, many of them over a mile and a half deep. This area just touches the North Atlantic Ocean, known for large numbers of humpbacks and orcas. We sure hope to see some!
–breezy temperatures up to low 60s feel cooler
~ Over these pitiful water graves, we are mindful of the likely presence of war and hatred for always. “Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war. (Psalm 120:6,7)
