On the way to Tromsø

Heading with weak winds further north.

In the Risøyrenna (a 5km long, narrow channel (7m depth and 100m wide) with very strong currents) where several seals, playing in the waves.

Sailing towards Engenes, a small island with the highest island-montain in Scandinavia.

A skua, attacking other birds. They often steel their fish in midfligth.

Sunny and calm day, when the wind stopped, it was time for fishing.

Engenes, a quiet place. The harbour was rebuilt during the last two years and not finish yet.

Sealife on the pontoon.

Evening walk to WWII bunkers - built by german invaders

Looks kind of retired...

Heading to Langlitinden, the highest mountain of the island (1'276m).

More and more mushrooms soaring out of the earth (compared with the usual years, two months to early).

Crazy strong colors.

Creeks every hundret meters - the locals usually don't take water bootles with them. They drink direct out of the creeks.

Leaving the nest too early...

Fragile flowers.

And thousands of insects all over the place. A huge difference compared to Switzerland.

Even though there hasn't been any rain for a while...

...the creeks have enough water from the snow and glaciers.

Even above the tree line...

...there are a lot of different colours.

View back to the fjord, where we started.

All around we spotted some small glaciers (only 800m above sea level).

Made it to the top of Langlitinden.

Strong winds were forecast the next day. Due to the narrow fjords, they ended up being almost twice as strong as expected. But luckily no big sea can build up.

Orcas crossing our path from time to time.

After almost 60miles, we reached the island of Ryøya...

...in the old days, criminals were executed here. And until five years ago, a musk-ox projekt was run on the island (access was forbidden).

Also here, this close to Tromsø, we encounterd thousands of insects...

...and colorfoul flowers.

There are even carnivorous plants.

Seagulls looking for food in the strong and turbulence Rystraumen (narrow channel with tides up to 8kn).

A pair of eagles circeled the whole day above us.

Unfortunately we were also found by a lot of hungry horseflies.

Cutting...

...and chopping firewood...

...for the barbacue on the pontoon...

...and the stove in the cabin, witch is built on the pontoon by a local business.

Cozy public cabin. Very clean, although very often used.
