CAPTAIN'S LOG · DAY 7
NJÖRÐR HAS FILLED OUR SAILS.
The seventh day became one of the great surges of the crossing. The crew added 2,260,886 steps — roughly 1,470 kilometres — and the fleet pushed farther west across the North Atlantic.
Sixty-one sailors were now aboard. Greenland remained behind us. The North American mainland waited ahead.
THE CROSSING CONTINUES.
ONE FLEET. ONE SAGA. ONE GOAL.
— Captain Hákon
