Mid-September: From the Ice to Brittany – The Great Atlantic Descent
In mid-September, the polar summer gradually fades away, giving way to the striking contrasts of the northern autumn. This is the moment KAMAK Expeditions chooses to begin its grand return voyage from the spectacular landscapes of Greenland or Iceland to its home port in Brittany.
This voyage is a major open-sea journey. Leaving the high latitudes to sail down the North Atlantic at the equinox is to treat oneself to a pure, powerful and immersive sailing experience, where the true meaning of the word ‘journey’ comes into its own.
Who is this sailing course aimed at?
- Sailors who love the open sea and the thrill of the waves: For those who enjoy long-distance sailing, the beautiful routes carried by autumn weather systems, and the pleasure of steering a high-performance cruising yacht through the long swells of the Atlantic.
- Professionals and offshore crew members: This is the perfect opportunity to test the KAMAK in its long-distance cruising configuration. An excellent way to put your navigation skills – perhaps even celestial navigation – weather routing and ship management to the test on a long crossing.
- Lovers of the Northern Lights and wide open spaces: Mid-September marks the return of pitch-black nights at sea. It is the ideal time to watch for the season’s first Northern Lights during night watches, offering a surreal spectacle above the sails.
The atmosphere on board: A sense of a grand return and a shared maritime bond. Between lively discussions in the cosy saloon, the careful monitoring of weather charts and the magic of starry nights, this sailing trip offers a complete escape. The highlight? The unique thrill of seeing the Breton lighthouses flashing on the horizon, welcoming sailors home after an unforgettable odyssey.
Be part of the end of the Arctic season. Join the KAMAK crew for this epic ocean voyage and experience the open sea at its most magnificent.
