#369: Øyvind Nilssen & Jon Amtrup // Arctic Sailing Round Table

#369: What happens when you put three of the saltiest, Norwegian, high latitude sailors on the same boat? They record a podcast, of course! August and Emma were joined by Øyvind Nilssen and Jon Amtrup/ on ISBJØRN in Longyearbyen, Svalbard. Øyvind runs Duen Experience, running charters in Arctic Norway. Jon is an author and sailor, and has literally written the books on sailing in Norway and the high latitudes. Jon has also been skippering ISBJØRN this past summer.

The four of us discuss what's unique about sailing in the high latitudes and the Arctic, from ice to polar bears to weather forecasting. We filmed this episode (thanks James Austrums!) and you can find that video on The QUARTERDECK.
