CAPTAIN'S LOG · DAY 14
THE POWER OF SIXTY OARS.
Seventy-two Vikings had carried the fleet to 17,840,511 steps — approximately 11,596.3 kilometres from Greenland.
The North American mainland was drawing close. The crew kept the ship moving together, every oar adding distance to the same course.
EVERY OAR MATTERS.
THE SHIP MOVES AS ONE.
— Captain Hákon
