Trøndelag and Nordland

Halten - a remote archipelago with a lot of birds. During winter nobody lifes here, due to the realy bad weather.

A local fisher goes out...

...to get some crabs.

Morning stroll over the small island. It has some small, colorful houses that you can rent in summer.

Racks to dry the fish.

Small fishing vessel stopping for lunch.

Four o'clock in the morning.

Exploring the many small islands, well protected from the high swell.

Black Guillemot

Playing in the rocks.

A lot of black guillemots on the pier during the nigth and in the morning.

They can't be bothered at all.

Salt water at work...

Old fisherman's house with breeding boards for seagulls

They are loud all day long and smell quiet strong...

Black-legged Kittiwake

Bjorn (orginally from Germany), the keeper of the island and his son Linus.

Slow downwindsailing for the next 40 hours.

Long sailing days towards Bodø.

Midnight and it doesn't get really dark anymore. Very comfortable for navigation.

Lovund with it's 620m high mountain - the destination of tomorrow's hike.

Quiet evening - on the other boat we met a great family (marine biologists and organic farmers). After Brexit they left their contry behind and life now on the boat as "refugees".

Heading for Lovundfjellet.

The first part in nice, cool shade.

Beautiful beaches (water 8°C)...

... and interesting rock formations.

Heading for the peak. Here in Norway, the hiking trails only know one direction...

...steeply straight, without curves.

Colorfoul flowers around every corner.

View back to the sea.

Finally on top - with more than 20°c it's way to warm.

View back down to the harbor.

On the north side of the island is one of the world's largest colonies of puffins. Unfortunately you can see them only in the air.

Slow downwindsailing...

... to the next island.

Time for fishing. After just two attempts we got our first cod.

Hestmannen, the next montain...

...we plan to hike (on the right side - only 570m, but very steep).

Almost midnight - hard to find some sleep.

Morningwalk along the cost.

A curios seal in the harbour.

And friendly arctic terns. Here they don't seem to be aggressiv.

One of many beaches (still very cold for swimming).

On the way to the hike up Hestmannan, with the bike...

... and the new offroad e-scooter.

Another beautiful and hot day for a hike.

Moose droppings - and around the next bend a young male crossed our path (we an him where frightenden and he jumped in the bushes and run away.

Again, the path goes only strigth up in a line.

A lot of different colours.

The last part to the top is even steeper.

View to the lakes and sea.

Almost there...

Selfie with the drone.

View down the steep cliff.

And in between there was always some work - this time two defective burners on the petrol stove and a broken drinking-water pipe.
