Boreal Yachting's team in Tromsø and on the boats write these short pieces: route planning, gear, small observations from the season.

Crew notes

## Plan your route: sailing suggestions for Northern Norway

Route planning in Northern Norway is mostly about tide, wind direction and how far you are willing to sail in a day. This note sets out realistic distances from Tromsø, the sheltered inside passages, and which legs to keep flexible.

Crew notes

## Cities of Svalbard: Longyearbyen, Ny-Ålesund, Barentsburg

Svalbard has three settlements a sailing yacht is likely to call at: Longyearbyen, the Russian mining town of Barentsburg, and the research station at Ny-Ålesund. Each has its own rules for visitors, and Ny-Ålesund restricts radio and drone use.
