Iceland and Greenland
Early Vikings were clever at marketing. Leif Eriksson found a very cold and barren place and wanted to encourage others, he called it Greenland. Iceland was mild and livable, they didn't want invaders and called it Iceland. The two really need to take a brand honesty course and swap names.
It was an amazing day. It was the riskiest part of the trip and it could not have been better. We had a clear blue day, we had good tail winds and we had incredible views and each visited a new country.
We have landed in Iceland to spend the night before finishing the journey tomorrow in the UK. I have achieved a life goal - flying the Atlantic (I count this success because in 2005 I managed to fly from England to Iceland and this joins the dots).
More photos tomorrow, but here is a journal for today.

Hi Dige,
Now thats a give-a-way - it can only be someone from your Belgian family!
You lucky man - or more correctly you very blessed man! How wonderful it must be to be doing something like flying your own plane across the Atlantic. We will be looking out for more news and photos.
Happy landings in the land of Cadbury Flake.
Many blessings, Lesley D.
Congratulations! What a wonderful adventure!!
When you start an Adventurer's passenger service, PLEASE, let me know. I'd love to join you.
Have a safe flight to England!
