This must have been extraordinary Grace - my hearing impediment does prevent me enjoying such a thing fully.
I shall take Grace's word for it

Very glad to have the opportunity to hear the Sagas spoken. I can't
understand Icelandic yet at all, but with the Old Norse text in front of me,
I can read most of it and work on pronunciation.
Last Saturday's edition of the programme Tímakornið on the Icelandic
radio station Rás 1 was about the word 'hof'. The programme begins
with an extract from Kjalnesinga saga (Chapter 2) read with Modern
Icelandic pronunciation [ http://www.snerpa.is/net/isl/kjalnes.htm ].
Also thanks for clarifying this:
'að því sem' "in accordance with (the winds we've had), according to
what (winds we've had)", i.e. there are many lands they might have
come to, given the various ways the wind has been blowing.
