I am glad Susan accepted another Komoot invite for a hike on Fedje. Our after work actvity got completed before the Champagner Friday kicked in. All a bit late but what does it matter with a sunset time of 10:55 pm at the moment!
Fair winds & Good Night!
We are now back in Fedje, where our journey into the Sognefjord started 10 days ago. At that time we knew, that Fedje is a place to return to and we now have the opportunity to explore “the village on the ocean” further as it looks like as if we will stay here for a little while due to the weather forecast.
Fair winds…
Our short trip today from Eivindvik to Skjerjehamn took us through some very picturesque landscape including passing Kiparsundet.
While Skjerjehamn was one of the largest trading ports in Western Norway during the first half of the 20th century, it has now been revitalized by some privat investors keeping local values together. Very nice concept!
Fair winds…
After a very narrow & interesting approach through the Prestesundet we have moored in Eivindvik for the night, a historical Viking place in Norway.

PS: Another nice hike to a Dagsturhytta got added to our list.
Balestrand is a cruise ship free zone, which can easily be recognized not only by the number of tourists but also by its calm and slowed down atmosphere. Individuals instead of groups strolling around among the locals. Hospitality has a long tradition.
Nevertheless, connectivity makes it easy to explore the region and join all sorts of activities popular within the vicinity, but still on a low scale.
We are moving further West towards…?
Fair winds…
Finally, the clouds have taken over from the sun but it is still pleasantly warm with some drops of sky juice now and then. Grumbling thunder also contributes here and there but remains in the distance for now.
Another Dagsturhytta invited us to enjoy some quality time in pure nature. This one even had a fire place and is very popular all year, as we have been told by the locals. For the Kindergarten kids a tough daytrip!
Fair winds…
On our way back to the West, we have now moored in Balestrand, a small historical village situated at the Esefjord, one more arm spreading from the main Sognefjord. Another count towards being the only visiting yacht in the marina.
Fair winds…
I was lucky to meet Pat and his crew before they left FlĂĄm. Second time our wake crosses. Last time it was June 2023 in Ponta Delgada, Azores, where we had a chat about his unique yacht Mah Jong. What a beauty. Small world!
Fair winds…
