I think that if you define "Greenland" rather loosely (say, as "not a baidarka and with pointy ends") you could find a comfortable boat in the larger One Ocean Kayak designs. The Cape Ann Storm seems to suit folks of your general configuration. Put in a Redfish seat and you shouldn't have sleepy leg syndrome.
YMMV,
