The Danish couple Camilla and Jonas Toustrup reached Svalbard on their second attempt this year. Before they headed off on their adventure, they spent four years upgrading and fixing the Dufor 12000 CT from 1979. It was a long process, but now they know their boat, Jera, so they can fix her on the voyage with no end date. That knowledge proved handy from the very beginning.
You can follow them on Instagram Journey of Jera.
