FPB 64\u00a0Grey Wolf<\/em> is starting\u00a0a summer of arctic cruising. Making a direct passage\u00a0from Scotland, she is currently less than a day out from Svalbard, well inside the arctic circle at 74 degrees shown in the graphic above. Following in FPB prototype\u00a0Wind Horse’s<\/em> wake,\u00a0Grey Wolf<\/em> is eagerly approaching one of the most\u00a0isolated\u00a0anchorages anywhere on the globe.<\/p>\n This is what Hornsund looks like when it’s free of ice. However, in the high Arctic one is never sure whether ice will be present.<\/p>\n In the high latitudes, weather can change quickly. Extreme caution, conservative navigation, and ice watch at all times while at anchor are critical.<\/p>\n You can follow along with owner Peter Watson and crew on their detailed blogs<\/a>. They are updating\u00a0their adventures daily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
