Fascinating norwegian fjords

After the storm, which lasted several days, we are faced with rough seas around the shallows.

A small fishingboat crossing our path.

Sailing towards the fjords with windgust up to 30kn.

A bigger fishing boat going against the swell.

Inside Øyhellsundet it's suddenly very calm.

Heading up the sund...

...with dolphins crossing our path.

Trough the very narrow (10m) and shallow (4m) Øyhellsundet we reach...

...the famous Trolljorden.

The fjord is only 2km long, but the entrance with 100m quiet narrow and flanked both sides by 1'000m high rock cliffs.

Most of the time it's very quiet. The peace is only over for a short moment, when the inflatable boats with tourists make their short visit.

Exploring the fjord...

... with the drone an...

...going on a hike to the sourrounding peaks.

Wonderful colors and vibrant waterfalls dominate the valley.

After one hour we reached public mountain huts.

For a small fee you can get a key and sleep there.

View back to the Trolljord.

Twice a day, the passengership of Hurtigruten sneaks inside the fjord...

...and turns around on the point.

In the evening we receive a visit from two fishing boats (parents and son).

They have been fishing around the Lofoten for the whole life and gave us advice on where the fish were in the fjord.

After two minutes fishing from the dinghy...

...we had more than enough fish...

...for the whole week :-)

After a quiet night (the hydroelectric power station was out of operation due to a rockfall)...

...we said good bye to the Trollfjord...

...and sailed north, looking for a protected anchorage, because stormy days lay ahead.

Unfortunately, other boats had the same idea, and after two rental boats recklessly dropped anchor next to us...

... there wasn't much room left.

We used the two rainy and stormy days...

...to sew a new flag. The old one no longer survived the strong winds.

And the anchor is checked regularly, during the storm. Behind us, we had only 30m left to the beach..

As well, a lot of time for knitting.

One rental boat had his anchor positioned so awkwardly that it was underneath another boat - difficult to get up...

After the strong winds passed, we went with the kayaks...

...for a walk over...

...the small island. We found a lot of different flowers...

...and insects.

Heading more northe...

...to the lovely Lonkanfjord.

Calm and quiet evening (except for the hundreds of singing birds on the shore).

In addition to a lot of moose tracks, we find frogs...

...colorful flowers...

...and many of these caterpillars, which cling to our clothes and even get onto the ship.

Dinner and desert (chocolate bananas) on the fire.

We enjoy the peaceful evening - fortunately there are almost no mosquitoes left.

The anchor ground was not that good, but there was almost no wind...

...and we were able to stay one night.

Beautiful und quiet moring.

And heading out to a small fishing harbour. From there we will be able to reach the strenuous mountain Møysalen on the next day...
