| By way of introduction a word about our style of voyaging and some factors to take into account when planning to charter from Frithjof Wiese. Our StyleAlthough Frithjof Wiese is a charter vessels, we like to think of our voyages in terms of 'expeditioning' rather than 'charter cruising'. Our aim is give the crew (our guests) a sense of participation in all facets of operating a small vessel in a remote area. Washing up after meals, however, is taken in turn. On deck, everyone will be expected to do a bit of steering, sail handling and help with launching and re-embarking the dinghy. No prior experience is needed for any of these activities. Frithjof Wiese is fully equipped for comfort. It is dry and warm below, there are proper bunks and a spacious head compartments with hot water showers. We have a library and a good selection of music, film and hard copy to make you feel at home. Planning and Organizational Responsibilities We are principally a logistic and support service. Although we do offer suggested itineraries as outlined in the option pages. We can give advice with travel plans, but all arrangements, bookings, permits etc, are the responsibility of the client. The Possibility of Failure Although our track record is well established, the possibility of failure and danger is by our definition implicit in an expedition. Otherwise it would not be an adventure! Therefore we can give no guarantees that any expedition or group will reach its objectives. We will make our best efforts to stick to a client's itinerary as agreed beforehand, but the possibility of modifications because of: weather, the limitations of a small sailing vessel and the master's final say on decisions affecting safety, amongst other factors, must be accepted by the client. www.frithjofwiese.com Site Homepage © Frithjof Wiese 2011.
