Yesterday I was unpacking from my recent adventures from Belfast Maine to Port Hawkesbury Nova Scotia and back…. and saw this. What a great flashback!
Our route took us across the Bay of Fundy and then into the Labrador current on our way up to Newfoundland. The Labrador current is very cold. The warm summer air over the cold current also generates a ton of fog. During the nights this makes the air damp and cold. Well, the first night into this colder temperature I didn’t have my Helly Hansen technical base layer on and was very happy when my time on deck was up and I could get below to put this on for my base layer. The next night as we slid into the colder temps and a nice little low with 30 knots in it I was super warm with all the right layers on. Thanks Helly Hansen for being so awesome at what you do!
