You know that feeling when you’re technically allowed to do the thing… but maybe shouldn’t be? That was us.   
  
We headed out on the water to troubleshoot some navigation gear. Boring stuff really. The water was calm, the sun was shining and it was beautiful. We even stopped for a little photoshoot.

Then we went through the the world’s only naviduct, the [**Krabbersgat**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naviduct?ref=gonewiththewynns.com) in the Netherlands.

And I genuinely don't know what to say other than: we entered another world.

No briefing. No *Ice Navigation 101*. Just a sea of white and us wondering, "how ice proof is this boat?" 

We've sailed halfway around the world...but in that moment I felt like a 6-year-old who had been handed the keys to a Ferrari.

So, if you want to see how we (and the boat) handled our first time ice breaking, then settle in. Because this is one of the wildest things we have ever experienced!
