Crew member Pelayo at the stearing oar. Draken is a well balanced ship, but sometimes in hard wind and waves, stearing her can be a hard job; in extreme conditions up to three people will assist the "helmsman". #drakenexpeditionamerica
Greetings to Brockville for last great midsummer. This year the ship is in Mystic Seaport !
Great sailing from St Anthony to Baie-Comeau last summer. It was one of the last chilly days before entering into the Great Lakes (a small iceberg can actually be seen behind the sail). #expeditionamerica
While sailing from Greenland to Newfoundland, it was difficult to control the "kajningar" - handling the yard while setting and taking down the sail. Some heavy people are needed when there are waves. Here is one of our larger crew members Henrik taking a ride. #expeditionamerica
Draken rides the waves, and while sailing over the Atlantic there were some talks as to what helped her through the waves. Of course, the whole construction of the hull, and the voluminous fore ship are good reasons, but some people argued that the ship was riding on bubbles of air, lubricating the hull. We took some underwater photos that showed a lot of bubbles along the hull anyway. Also, inside the hull, we could see air, not water, leaking in from the sea. Interesting theory. #expeditionamerica
