I am glad we made it north of Cape Stad during our passage from Shetland to Norway. This cape is also known as West Cape, the most western cliff in Norway.

It does not only form the borderline between the North Sea located to the south and the Norwegian Sea to the north, it also functions as a blocker for the low pressure systems to move much further east. In other words, the low pressure system raging currently southwest of Alesund will not get much closer to us, winds dropping rapidly.

Canoeists and Stand-up Paddlers face calm waters, mooring lines not getting tested either.

Fair winds…
