Where can the TS40 take you? 🗺️
This is Passage Notes, a new series from Deo Journal. Each post follows one real passage, port by port, with what you would see, where you would resupply, and how long it takes aboard the TS40.🛥️
First passage: Reykjavik to the Ilulissat Icefjord in Greenland. Roughly 1,500 nautical miles, about three days.
Swipe for the route:
Reykjavik. Depart from the Old Harbour, with fuel, provisions and technicians in the city.
The Irminger Sea. About 700 NM of open ocean to Greenland’s southern tip. Drift ice carried south on the East Greenland Current can block the coast into late summer, so the approach is planned on current ice charts.
Prince Christian Sound. A protected channel about 60 miles long, with steep mountain walls and glaciers calving into the water. In places it narrows to roughly 500 metres.
Qaqortoq. Coloured houses on a rocky hillside, a working harbour and a place to resupply. Nearby, the Norse ruins at Hvalsey stand within the Kujataa UNESCO World Heritage site.
Sisimiut. Greenland’s second-largest town, just north of the Arctic Circle, and the last major resupply point before Disko Bay.
The Ilulissat Icefjord. A UNESCO World Heritage site where the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier flows roughly 20 to 40 metres a day, sending icebergs out into Disko Bay.
The TS40 is a 40-metre trimaran with 3,000+ NM autonomy and silent propulsion, with the engines in the side hulls: zero noise, zero vibration.
Good to know: Greenland is outside the EU, so the first stop must be a port of entry, and GREENPOS ship reporting applies. Ice conditions set the timing. Distances are approximate, and this route is not for navigation.
Next in Passage Notes: more routes, and the harbours and anchorages only real explorers know.
