Ingrid came to us from a sea-kayak operation in Troms and has spent ten winters in the archipelago. She writes every Lofoten itinerary with a stated alternative for each day, which is the only honest way to plan there.
She is a competent small-boat skipper and will happily tell you when a crossing is a bad idea, including when you have already paid for it.
The card travellers get on arrival: today's plan, tonight's aurora probability, and what happens instead if the wind turns.
