(Post 4 of 4)

Yes, this is the still Joachim. Back outside and all cleaned up, he’s turning his mind to other things.

This boat, the 44′ Ocean Ice, is Joachim’s pride and joy. He’s getting ready to sail her from Bergen up to Svalbard this summer and he had big plans to explore.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned in Svalbard, it’s to look beyond our first impressions. Around here, what you see at first is almost never the whole story.
