Honnigsvag, Norway 19 July 2015

Today has been the BEST day - very cold, around 8-9C.  We went on a king crab safari, left the pier at 11.30am.  Two RIB boats took about 20 of us on an exhilerating ride about 20 minutes away.  We stopped on the way to check the crab pots and sure enough there were about 8 waiting for us.  We watched them being killed, broken up and put onto the pot and around half an hour later they were served to us in a large tepee.  They were accompanied by bread and a delicious sauce.  We sat on reindeer skins and the fire the middle  of the tepee was great.  The ride home was just as exciting and I would definitely recommend it.  As you can see in the pics we were all suited out in inflatable outfits, very glam and warm.  Afterwards we were taken to an ice bar where they served a drink.  
We depart at 5pm with another day at sea tomorrow.  Sadly it is all coming to an end!!!! Caroline and Ian Collie are with us in the photo.

  1. That all sounds awesome! Can you tell me what a RIB boat is? (excuse my ignorance!). Would love to taste those crabs.
