Islands westfjords

Hiking along the fjords - no trails to be found

Flowery summer meadows

It also has various jellyfish

Crossing the path of Joergen with his fast ketch from San Francisco

and exchange photos

One morning, the anchor winch didn't work any more. It was very exhausting to take up the 200kg of chain...

With the help of Sampto, a Finnish sailor, we located the problem in a melted brush-contact inside the electric motor

To big for our boat ;-)

Hiking the environments of Isafjordur

Crossing the fjord by dinghy, to go up this mountain - crossing the landing strip

750m of elevation straight up in 1h

View back to town and searching for a better trail, because there is none

Carefully scrambling down, sometimes retreating for an easier passage

After repairing the anchor winch...

...we headed out again to the westfjords...

...and spent some quiet days

Visited by a curious seal

Colored lily

Birds all around the boat

Even a curious puffin

Quiet anchorage

Going by dinghy on shore for a hike

Flowers around every corner

Washed up fish remains

Mountain creeks, but the artic char didn't arrive yet

Calm place

Whooper swans

Still a lot of snow

Picturesque rainbow just across the anchorage

Short stop in Sudureyri - long lines due to the high tides

Bye bye SY passage, they are heading off to east Greenland

Simple art

Heading south with no wind...

...to Patreksfjordur, a very busy fishing village

A fishermen gave us two big salmons from the nearby fishfarms

Sterilize the salmon

Quiet evening

Midnight sun

Where looking for one small fish - but after 10 seconds, this two big ones one the line

Each one almost 10kg und 1m long

Huge filets

Rounding the diffucult caps with its notorius currents. Even with little wind, the waves started braking

Malarrif lighthouse and Londrangar rocks

Heading slowly towards Akranes - the place for the next two weeks, when Ben will go back home for work...
