CAPTAIN'S LOG · DAY 8
WHEN ONE OAR RESTS, THE OTHERS PULL HARDER.
The fleet continued across the North Atlantic. Sixty-three sailors were aboard, and together the crew had carried Viking Voyage II to 8,765,483 steps — approximately 5,698 kilometres since Greenland.
But this day was remembered for something greater than the number.
ONE FLEET. ONE FAMILY.
NO VIKING GETS LEFT BEHIND.
— Captain Hákon
