check in from Iceland

So we're learning how to get this communication right. Greg Called me from a farmer's home at their second stop. Of course he did'nt want to be on long. He told me that both of their cell phones went on the blink. One got wet and is drying out, the other is dead. Not sure if it just needs a charge or what.

All along they had been sending out messages via sat phone on SMS but neither I nor Steini have been getting them. So my details are really loose at the moment. But they set out from Keflavik (see the map) and headed north to that first big peninsula to Malarri at least we think that's how it's spelled! LOL! Then the next day made another big crossing up the the next big finger you see there to Melans. Correct me if these are wrong but again we were on a quick call. The second day Greg says the headed out into what became about a force 6 headwind. They talked about turning around, but then decided to just push through. That crossing in the end took 22 hours!!! Yikes!

From here they are going to slow the pace a bit, but wanted to use up some of that energy they had been storing from all the travel lately. So they are doing pretty good.
