A remains ahead of B not only in the context of the alphabetical order but also in terms of Anabiotics trying to fight the infectious Beast crept in and nesting in my body. Feels like Amoxil has started to take the upper hand! Cross fingers. Apart from a very light bike ride to the neighbouring village called Reine, rest and recovery remains the priority but I could not solely sit, surf or eat and sleep anymore.
Reine is magnitudes more touristy compared to my lovely Sørvången but nevertheless very beautiful.
After less than 20nm, which includes a little detour to stay away from Moskstraumen, we have now casted the lines at our second marina on the Lofoten – Sørvågen on Moskenesøya
A short sniff tour on the bike made it clear: change in landscape and increased level of traffic/tourism.
BarentsWatch is a very helpful service for passage plannings within the Norwegian coast and beyond. The last gale force storm went through over night gusting 40kn and the wave is now following for another 24 hours. We had three times 40 plus knots of wind within the last 10 days. Passing through relatively fast at least. Some gusts extremely short and crisp.
The snapshot illustrates the whirlpool kind of character within the waters around Værøy Island and Lofoten Mainland also known as the Moskstraumen.
