Summer feelings in Norway

Continuously heading north for the last two weeks (since Germany 880nm).

Lookout for the small entrance to Utsira.

Quiet and lovely south-harbour on Untsira.

Famaous paintings...

...all over the island.

First trip with the new kayaks, which are much shorter than our usual ones.

Exploring the rocky eastcost of Utsira.

Heading northest to the next Island (Rovaer) and through the tight channels.

We found a nice place in front of a hotel run by a German woman. We had to leave this again shortly afterwards because the new sauna was being delivered by another boat.

Short walk over...

...the island of Rovaer...

...while Ben went to Haugesund with the ferry to pick up some material (new offshore platforms are being built there)

A windless day and under engine the whole time. Perfect for a new knitting project.

Quiet and lovely place in Strandebarm, where...

...where we visited sailingfriends who we met on Fair Isle last year.

And going on a 800 high mountain with them...

...and then cooling off in the fresh fjord.

Very pleasant and warm spring days..

...along the Hardangerfjord

And one day of work, as various repairs have accumulated. Here is the leaky transmission cooler.

Heading out of the Hardangerfjord.

First catch of the season (coalfish).

Small bay on the island of Skorpo.

"Fiskekake" is made from fresh fish.

First flights with the drone.

Quit sunset

After a many hours of light winds...

...we head north at full speed with all the sails up.

New oilplatform, in the process of drilling. They asked us, to keep half a mile of distance.

Circumnavigating the infamous cap of Stadlandet in quiet weather.

Sea eagle as we approached the island of Runde.

Quiet and small harbour on Runde...

...where we met sailing friends from Switzerland. They are traveling the norwegian waters for almost 40 years and also spent some winters here.

Evening hike over the island of Runde.

View to the mainland.

Black snails (from spain) every where.

Spotting the first puffins this year - they just started to lay their eggs.

Skua (exceptionally friendly and not attacking).

Curious puffin.

Two days later we arrived in Misund, where Sherpas from Tibet...

...built steep stairs up the mountains (total more than 9'000 steps).

Flowers around every corner (usually there would be still snow).

And up more steps...

...to the first peak...

...from where we have a nice view down to the harbour, where our boat can be seen.

Third of four peaks.

17th may; the norwegian national day with parades in every village.

We met Ella before the parade, and when we asked her what she did for work; killing whales (she showed us pictures and was very proud).

Fire brigade at the parade.

Calm sailing weather in the first hours, perfekt for...

...for training with the drone. The landing on the moving boat still takes a lot of nerve.

Crossing the path of a working boat, on the way to the outer islands. Every thing ist transported by boat.

The wind ist picking up to 30kn and very steep waves built up.

Quieter sailing on the leeward side of the thousends of small islands - soon arriving on the remote archipelago of Halten, where we found amazing bird live...
