Battling the Currents to Quebec: Crew Account of Working the Lines on the Draken Longship #RealSeamanship #QuebecSailing #LifeAtSea
Crew member Vicky shares her perspective on the open deck as Draken Harald Hรฅrfagre navigates the challenging waters from Baie-Comeau toward Quebec City. After weeks of open-ocean transit, the international crew faces an entirely new maritime obstacle: the intense tides and opposing currents of the St. Lawrence River. To avoid being pushed backward by the massive force of the moving water, the team must constantly adjust, raise, and lower the massive square sail, requiring continuous physical output and precise strategic positioning from everyone on deck.

Vicky reflects on how the months spent living and working together have transformed the international volunteers into a highly efficient, synchronized unit. She explains that dropping or raising the sail is one of the most dangerous moments on an open wooden ship, but the crew has now mastered exactly where to stand, who needs to pull, and how to manage the heavy rigging lines to prevent chaotic tangles.
Transitioning to the 04:00 to 08:00 morning watch, she describes the rewards of their hard labor, watching the sun rise over the river after a long night, highlighting the deep camaraderie that defines this historic expedition.
