Day 19: Wind in the windsack!

Today we used the windsack as a sail for a couple of hours. Sideways wind complicated the operation, but it was really fun! Especially Øystein and Inger succeeded in getting higher speed. In addition the down hills are to our advantage and the sledges (pulkas) are not that heavy any more. There is a fine view from the tent down to the former radar station DYE2, situated about 9 km ahead of us. Or else we are in very good shape.
