It also looks like it would be a good short cut on
the way north to Newfoundland and Labrador.


Sounds "cold" ;-)

Yah but...

...what I'd really like to do is cross to Europe by way of Greenland,
Iceland and Scotland. Crazy? Of course, and it will probably never
happen. A few weeks in Labrador might cure me with any luck, and I've
always wanted to cruise Nova Scotia. When you grow up in the lake
effect snow belt of upstate NY the ice never totally leaves your blood
stream.

:-)

I spent November and December of 65 about 200-400 miles east of
Labrador on a 311' boat. I am cured. ;-)

I'll bet. It turns out that there is a fairly limited weather window
for getting in and out of Greenland in a small boat because of ice
conditions. The ideal time would be to leave Labrador in early July,
arrive Greenland 3 or 4 days later, refuel, and head for Iceland on
the next good weather window. You'd want to be in Scotland no later
than early August. The longest hop is Greenland to Iceland, about 4
days. It's fun to plan these things even if they never materialize.

I spent years dreaming about and planning a cruise to the Caribbean
islands and finally made it happen twice.


You would pretty much have to just spit in the harbor in the UK and
start back so as not to miss the window.
I am not sure what there is in south Greenland. We were in Thule but
that was way far north from anywhere you (or anyone in their right
mind) would ever want to be. ;-)
