Rendezvous at Nuuk
|

Lands' End's Mike Endres installs a new on-board computer, then takes the tiller
|
|
Shortly before Snorri left Nuuk to begin her voyage north, one of her two on-board
computers came down with a bad case of the whim-whams. The only way to replace it
in time was to ask Lands' End computer whiz Mike Endres to bring a new one and set
it up on the spot. Mike's back home now, with pictures of Greenland's capital city.
Thought you'd enjoy a peek.
