Not much more to add to yesterday's report other than Antiope's second report which came in after I had posted Mark's snivelling comments to his mother!. Antiope is still up North with the adventurers and will be making her way back for the forthcoming crew change. I will try and speak to Sir Robin on the telephone and also look forward to first hand reports from those returning.
Exciting news!
I have merged all the daily reports into one document which covers the first two legs of the Greenland Voyages and will happily Email this out to anyone interested. We will also have copies at the office and in Taeping during her visit to London

From Mike Harry Antiope Clipper GMT 0110 GMT 11 July
Pos.64 54'N 23 43'W After safe arrival in Reykjavik on Wednesday afternoon and a wonderful dinner hosted by Liffe on Thursday, Antiope left with 16 on board to sail 90 miles NW so people could climb Snaefellsjokull an ice capped extinct volcano, whilst Ariel remained behind organise provisions. We arrived at the port of Olafsvik at 2200 on Friday night and two parties left boat at 0800. One to climb the other to Skidoo up the mountain. Meanwhile the skipper is off to the local baths! Quite a few sightings of whales and dolphins on our way across.
Regards Mike et al
