We roll, we pitch, we do both at once. Crazy water. Three different wave systems creating very confused seas. There was a lovely sailing wind this morning, building after a silent, still dawn. Decided to take the out-to-sea route north, where there would be little need for navigating, only lookout, and long stretches of sailing. It lasted about an hour, before the sailng wind gradually veered northwest and sank to five knots, leaving Josin bobbing about without steerage way. Down with sails, on with engine and dodge the fishing gear. Obviously a popular fishing area. Lovely hot, sunny day to improve the tan.
The harbour guide said that Gluppø was probably the area’s most popular haven. It was correct yesterday evening. Counted 15 boats, buoyed, anchored, or tied up to rockshore. Found a sheltered spot to anchor and enjoyed the calm. The wnd changed at about two am, from south to north west, and all the bouyed and anchored boats wandered in all headings before settling down again. So could I. No bumps, no oopsies.
S. Koster next, to my favourite tie-up spot at 58 51.3 / 011 02.7. Then some lunch on the level.
