After today‘s encounter with Norway‘s biggest sailing vessel I have now moored in the smallest municipality within the whole country – Kvitsøy.
It was an interesting approach through a labyrinth of islands and rocks until you end up in a picturesque inner harbour with limited spots for visitors. I am glad we are early in the season, as this is one of the hotspots for boaties from Stavanger over the weekends during peak season.
An amazing island, no doubt!

I was fortunate and learned today about SC Connector, Norway’s largest sailing vessel, while we passed along each other. Interesting read under this link.
Egersund was a good first stop on our way North after the passage from Sweden. The Lady got desalted and is back in shiny conditions. I also took a glance at the city not missing a short afternoon nap. The small town is charming depsite Egersund being one of the largest fishing ports in Norway.
I was hungry for a night at anchor as the last one was at Anholt/DK. Based on some hints from the TO Community I ended up in Rausvågen, a tiny little pinhole bay on the island of Eigerøya. Same time we bring ourselves into the pool position for tomorrow’s passage further North. There are some southerly winds coming, which shall not be missed.
It is only us here and perhaps some locals in the houses. Let’s see when it becomes dark. Crying birds, that is a given. I believe this kind of scenery will become the new normal for our stay in Norway, just waiting for the moose.

After a good sail through a challenging night with gusts up to 36kn lifting the lady beyond 10kn top speed, Cape Lindesnes became the reward in the early morning hours.
Tired, physically & mentally exhausted, it will be an early night after a passage, which will be present for a while.

Today I saw Orust from a different angle. Perhaps the reason is, that this was not so much a duty & logistic’s ride but rather for pleasure. On top of that, the weather contributed a lot. First time dressed in one layer only, soon we get the shorty out.
Every day you can recognize that spring has massively arrived now. Nature is changing quickly, daily I would say.
The bike is stored for now.

Hard to understand, but if you look at this photo, two Hallberg-Rassy 34 adding up to 68ft in total. The new flagship, the Hallberg-Rassy 69, is only 1ft longer but 10 times the price. I don‘t get it but perhaps another example where zero does not count to much.🤔

It was a short transfer from Svineviken to the Hallberg-Rassy Yard in Ellös, where we picked up our new propeller and some other parts from the wish list.
We are now all set for Norway, our next destination.
Fair winds…
