The Norse did not sail because it was safe.
They crossed open water in open boats, navigating by sun, star, coastline, bird and swell, and reached Iceland, Greenland and the coast of North America centuries before anyone else in Europe managed it. They were not looking for comfort. They were looking for what came next.
The Southern Cross above the sail is how you find south down here. It is a very long way from the North Atlantic, and about as far from home as those crews could have pictured.
Same instinct. Different hemisphere.
Born here, and choosing to carry something older than that.
