Qeqertarsuak or Godhavn
69 14.795 N. 53 33.087W

Lots of ice in the approach from the SW. The anchorage itself clear of ice but moorings obstruct anchoring too far into the SE inlet known as Eulners Bugt. Very sheltered. Good holding. Although the bottom is said to be fowl we had no problems. Thin filamentous weed on the bottom.

Busy small boat harbour and cargo terminal. Hotel and cafe closed when we were there so no Wi-fi. Fabulous views to the east from the rocky shore east of the comprehensive collection of aerials. Great elevated views a short walk out of town. Well stocked supermarket and quaint ‘ink pot’ church. Museum was closed. Fuel awailable from small boat harbour. Not aware of any toilets or showers ashore. Ferry port and heliport. Dog sledging on the ice cap.
