Littlebit enjoyed a successful cruise this summer to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.  The trip was 42 days round-trip from Cape May, New Jersey, US.  We had good weather, bad weather, and plenty of fog.  Temperatures were an average of 65F, and we had a low of 42F near Burgeo, NF; however, the wood-burning heater I installed last year made this quite tolerable.  On the return trip, we had a four-day gale over Emerald Bank and Georges Bank, and the Ballad handled it with aplomb.  It was a very comfortable ride.  In all, I've fallen more deeply in love with Littlebit as a result of this trip.  Nova Scotia and Newfoundland are exceptionally beautiful, and I'd encourage anyone to go.  I've attached a few pictures here, and I'll post an incredible video of dolphins (sorry about the "holy sh*t"s -- I was a little excited) in the video section.    

Just trying to explore the new site.

This summer "Mallemuk" (1182) visited the Faeroe Islands. We were bound for Island, but unfortunately my mate had to go back to Denmark from the Faroes. I was lucky to hitchhike with two other boats to Island and back to "Mallemuk", and get new crew to the trip home.

I put some pictures and letters (in danish) at my multiply, which you will find here:

Thanks to Jesper for his inspiration and great work for the group.

Also thanks to the members that have participated with heating letters. "Mallemuk" was equiped an Eberspächer AIRTRONIC D4 before the cruise, which never failed and kept us warm and dry in the cold conditions.
