If any of you char chasers can find a way of getting to Hvalsey (Whale Island) beside a fine, sometimes berg-dotted fjord in the south of Greenland (near present day Qaqortoq), you’ll see a sight that sobered and silenced my three well-beered fishing pals – a Dane, an Icelander and a Norwegian-Swede ‘hybrid’ – on a Four Young Fishers Go Mad in Greenland in the early-mid 1980s: the ruins of the fine stone-built church abandoned by the Vikings after four hundred years of settlement in the early 1400s. Tough tough TOUGH people.
