We left our nice berth in Florø centre at the very early hours and under drizzling grey skies. After a quick stop at the petrol station followed by some circling to calibrate the gyrocompass we had breakfast on the way. The humming noise of the engine added the rest.
There were very few scenic spots on the way, and we feel that it is not mainly due to the weather but simply that this stretch of the Norwegian coastline is less spectecular.
Irritation came while heading into a narrow and a bridge under construction appeared through the sprinkled windscreeen. Not mentioned in the nautical charts we learned via a VHF call that there is no restriction for us to pass. Shortly after having received that relieve, we were politely asked to give MS Kong Harald right of way. Feeling the majestic power with no obligation but plenty of respect, we gave way and followed their wake. If they fit, we will for sure.
The welcome in Fedje was topped by some stronger downfall just at the time of mooring. Thank you!
I guess, this was one of the days, where you just want to get it done. Nevertheless, we are very happy to be back on this island, the second best on our list after Skrova.
Fair winds…
