At the end of a relaxed day yesterday, the sun shone and the breeze died away, and suddenly it was shorts time and sunsoaking in the cockpit. Didn’t last long unfortunately, but a nice foretaste of what might come later.
Today, sunday, I woke very late, (must have needed it!), but didn’t hurry. Goal for the day was Djupfest, not so far, but a good starting point for the next stretch. Dagens disappointment: No diesel! Must have been too many large and thirsty cabin cruisers ahead of me in the queue.
So, check can. Full, 10 liters. Enough. ‘Cos today we sailed! Whooppee! først a bit of motoring, back to where we came from, to round the “Toe” of Ørland, and just as we got there, the wind came in, 10 to 15 knots, and sails were hoisted and rolled out in a hurry. Close hauled we tacked up the fairway, avoiding the nasties, until the wind died to 7 knots and veered to direct ahead. Anyway, here is the track for today.
Other boats were somewhere else, probably on their way back to Trondheim after the long weekend, so navigating was much simplified.
Djupfest is a very small harbour, and no defined guest places. Luckily someone appeared. “Yes, he’s away, you can stay there until tomorrow”.
Forecast is for rain early. so no hurry up. Goal is Stokksund, where we have been several times before. Remember the “rømmegraut” Margie?
Alls well, from SailorJohn.
