BERGEN: We are currently back in Bergen again, and we expect to be staying here until early next week. A very strong gale in the middle of the North Sea ground our ship to a halt.

Scotland forever!
SCOTLAND: Our journey through the Caledonian canal was not only the first time Underveis sailed in freshwater, or the first time she travelled above sea level.
