A gentle wander, then a scuttle in inclement weather, south from Nordskot to Hjelløya, (pos: 67 32,75 / 014 39,16), a natural harbour in the islands just west of Kjerringøy. There a convenient mooring buoy awaited. Picture looking east, with the mountains behind and north of Kjerringøy. Taken when we left, on the second morning, in very promising sunshine.
A slow sail in a northerly breeze in to Kjerringøy guest harbour, and as it was early in the day, there were several spots to choose between, luxury!
And the sunshine continues. Yesterday, monday, was a lazy day doing a bit of maintenance, wandering and shopping.
View from the path above the harbour, Josin at the right hand end of the pontoon. If the picture is sharp enough, you may be able to see the mountains of the Lofoten chain in the far background.
The evening promised clear, so the alarm was set to 00:45 in the hopes of seeing the midnight sun this time. Unfortunately not quite clear enough, and the mountains in the north are a bit in the way, but a wonderful sight none the less. Taken at exactly geographical midnight.
Today, tuesday, the sun is still shining, from a slightly hazy blue sky, and everyone is relaxed and affected by the remarkable warmth. Aromas of suncreams and lotions as one walks past the moored boats.
Reckon I will get out the bike and explore the local area a bit. The tourist map of the area lists many attractions.
Washing machine is beeping ready.
All’s well.
