The Commodore decided to bypass this port due to rough water conditions for the tenders and an incoming storm. We have traveled 1990.4 nautical miles (nm) from Southampton, 247 from Akureyri. We have 153 nm to go to Reykjavik and 2,676 remaining to New York City. It will be overcast throughout the day with rain forecast for tomorrow. It is 53.6 degrees. The sea condition has large waves at 11.5’ and the wind is 51.6 knots.
We will dock at Reykjavik tonight about 7:30PM and continue with the scheduled touring.
