Although you will continue to relax in the comfort of your favorite couch, this rather long video diary will bring you to each and every step of the endeavor, from the planning stage, to the post-scriptum. You'll be able to share the pain and the joy of the two nomads, their silly bad acting and the victories of solid team work.
This video diary is also a humble tribute to the Esprit de Corps, team work and, above all, to all the men and women in uniform.
Are you ready? Welcome aboard the "U-Boat", a Long Haul Mark II Commando tandem kayak!
Please, sing along, because the two nomads sure need a lot of help singing... :)

While some plans work well to the smallest details and other plans are completely derailed by unforseen circumstances, adaptability and teamwork remain the only means to move forward.
We visited “Bluie East Two”, a former US Army base from World Wor II located in East Greenland, in 2014 and four years later, in 2018, we decided to retrace our steps and find the echoes of a kiss shared at the Blue Hut.
The endeavor reminded us how precious the time we spend together is and how important it is to embrace graciously whatever nature, or fate, throws at you.
We tried to balance the magical solitude of Greenland with a fast paced road trip through Iceland.
Thank you for taking the time to come along and share the glimpses of our 167 minute long video diary.
