Report from Eldey: We set sail into fairly calm seas, with a moderate wind and a sky mostly covered by high clouds. Good things however come to those who wait and so we settled in, got ourselves a hot chocolate and waited while the clouds slowly but surely parted. We waited for a good hour-and-a-half and so where a less patient person might've given up, we stuck through. Then, very carefully, a band of northern lights appeared! faint at first, but then getting bright enough to see with the naked eye. For some time, this band was clearly trying its hardest, glowing stronger, then fading, and increasing again. Very carefully even danced a little bit! This went on for a while, but then very sudden, the sky exploded into colour! Many bands of light appeared and danced all over the sky! We stuck around longer on the ocean this evening to admire this long awaited spectacle and boy was it worth it!
