Havhingsten fra Glendalough update

I haven't seen any news from the ship yet, but the satelite map shows the ship has reached the southern most edge of Norway. If they follow the usual route, they'll now move up along the coast until they reach the crossing point. This is usually parallel to the Shetland Islands. So far the weather in Denmark has been wet and hard and I've been thinking about the crew out there all night in the driving rain. I hope every one remembered to wear lots of layers!

edited to add:
Four members of the crew were moved onto the chase ship during the night for minor aches and pains, but all returned to the ship by morning. The wind has been kind to the ship though the weather was pretty dismal. Havhingsten having been at sea from roughly 36 hours is currently at Christiansand in Norway. Below is an image of the ship taken around 5pm today and below that is another from on board taken around 3pm yesterday (2nd July).
