This boat found by Keith Gull is the 4th Float Your Boat found on the Langanes Peninsula in northeastern Iceland over the past two summers (see map) from a couple different deployments. The boat does not have a serial number on it which has the Float Your Boat team searching photos for matching wood grains on boats prior to deployment. Stay tuned for an update.
The boat was found on a small beach at the mouth of a tiny river that runs down to sea from the farm Hild in Northern Iceland. The bay is called Krossos and is on the Langanges Peninsula at 66.268102, -15.119560. Keith goes there each year to fish for Char and Sea Trout.
Beachcomber Keith Gull is a retired Oxford University Professor of Microbiology. He has been going to this area of Iceland fishing for 15 years and have walked this beach many times. This time he was alone, his friend having decided to fish further up the very small river that runs down past the very last farm - Hild - on the Langanes Peninsula. Keith was fishing the small river mouth for sea trout when he noticed the boat. It was after a very strong northerly gale! He is very interested to know where boat came from and who decorated it. He has the boat on his desk in Oxford.
