The wheelhouse functions as a living room, dining room and lounge. And on your right you see our spacious and well-decorated bedroom (after clearing out all the clutter we have to keep there during the day). Aaannd thats it. Dinner is made on deck and today consisted of canned meat patties in gravy, with… Continue reading Day 9: An epic tour of our facilities
Day 9: More indistinguishable coastline
Yet more pictures that a look very similar. It would probably be more exciting with action-shots but the more boring the pictures are, the better it is for us, at least, as it means still waters and no drama. We’re currently half-way todays strech and are passing Vik in Trøndelag. And pop-quiz, how… Continue reading Day 9: More indistinguishable coastline
Day 8: Weather-bound
We’re in little Uthaug seeking shelter from the weather. I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t feel good with a small break from being out on the water with nowhere to go. There are no shops or restaurants in the immediate area, so we have to take a taxi 6km to Brekstad to… Continue reading Day 8: Weather-bound
Day 7: A mundane day
Everything looks pretty much the same today, so not many pictures to add today either. We’ll reach Uthaug in a few hours and we’re both getting a liiiittle tired of being on-board 24/7 but very happy with being just over the half-way mark of the trip. Other funny place names we’ve come across is… Continue reading Day 7: A mundane day
Day 6: Almost ashore
In a couple of hours we’ll finally arrive after a really long day. One thing is certain about this country (besides a lot of similar scenery along the coast ), is that there are a lot of odd names to find on the map. In half an hour we’ve passed Husefluna, Ortemeda, Klakken and Bleia… Continue reading Day 6: Almost ashore
Day 6: Chugging along
We’re inching closer to Ålesund and the goal for today is a small place called Bud on the island Averøy close to Molde. Its also the home of the famous Atlanterhavsvegen.
Day 5: Night at Måløy
A charming little town, small enough that they have aptly named most their streets: Street 1, Street 2, Street 3 and so on.
Day 5: Somewhere in Sogn & Fjordane
Various locations. We spent most of the morning weaving in and out of small islands and islets, but finally made it into open waters again.
Day 4: We’ve passed Bergen
Not thinking ahead for this trip I didn’t pack anything to read, so I’ve bought whats been available in the tiny places we’ve been (and the bigger where everything except 7-11’s were closed when we arrived). So far I’ve gone through Se&Hør (awful tabloid, for shame!), MAD & Nemi (comics), Stella (chick mag) and have… Continue reading Day 4: We’ve passed Bergen
Day 3: Haugesund
We’ll pass Obrestad and Stavanger today. And its another day of surprisingly warm weather for the season. The sun is shining, and there are slight swells in the sea so we’ve slowed down a little bit, but after a 16 hour stretch, we dock at Haugesund for the night at around 7PM. Since we’re… Continue reading Day 3: Haugesund
