About the log book
The skipper's log contains excerpts from the Sea Stallion from Glendalough's logbook.
The logbook is kept by skipper Carsten Hvid and mate Vibeke Bischoff.
The logbook often gives short and quite precise descriptions of course, weather conditions, plans for the ongoing sailing and important experiences over the previous couple of days.
When the Sea Stallion is in harbour, the writers may find time to write more about conditions and tasks ashore.
