We have left our pool position berth at Ålesund in the early morning hours to catch some southerly winds left on the way to Kristiansund. It will be partly motor-sailing before the winds cease off further over the next couple of days. Going by the actual weather forecasts.
Ålesund Havn had a scheduled inspection of our pontoon structure and changed some shackles and robes. At the same time the Chief Diver Even offered us a free hull inspection and later-on shared the video and concluded – all good. I would have been surprised on anything different to that but it’s good to know that theses skills & services are readily available in Norway while they were very scarce in Ireland. Hope we never need it and the water gets to temperatures for us to jump in ourselves. Hospitality at its best!
During today‘s passage we need to pass Hustadvika, an exposed or dangerous area in adverse weather conditions as per our cruising guide. The weather is fine today and we expect a relaxed passage.
Time for breakfast.
Fair winds…
