my wife and I headed on a cruise from Iceland to Norway and today we stopped in Bolungarvík, Iceland. There we had the good luck to hear this gentleman talk about his dory and fishing. All I could say was WOW!
The whale rib bones you see are placed under the boat to protect it from the rocks. His clothing is made from sheepskin and his shoes from cowhide. The mittens he wears while he is rowing and there is a thumb placed on the other side so that when you wear a hole in the thumb, you rotate the mitten and you get a fresh thumb and palm, pretty clever.
Enjoy the photos.
