“The freshness, openness and isolation is what I enjoy the most and is what
keeps me coming back,” says Kjartan, who normally heads out alone on his
fishing boat when he isn't taking tourists out at sea for puffin watching or sea-
angling. He enjoys sharing the experience with travellers who can get a taste
of the Atlantic Ocean, but his real friends are the sea birds which accompany
him when he is out alone at sea. During the winter, the Atlantic Ocean can
be a cold and unforgiving place, and Kjartan says that a trip to the local
geothermal hot tub is the best way to warm up after a trip on the ocean.
