I decided to leave the Trollfjord for later and head back to Skrova Island. Also Ulvågen stays on the list.

Before throwing the lines in Digermulen, I bumbed into Geir Halvard Nilssen, fisherman. I am glad my engine was not running already as our chat got longer and longer. He showed me the documentary done by the NDR Team he took out: Abenteuer Lofoten:  Norwegens Insel – Juwel (see below, 6:48 and 30:12). What a coincident and nice gentleman.

The final encouragement to pass through the Øyhellsundet on my way back came from Geir. There is a very narrow and shallow area, well marked though, through this scenic sund. It turned out easier than it looked on the Navionics chart under the given weather conditions. Once passed the final buoy, there was a good breeze and sailing back to Skrova Island became a pure pleasure.

The terminology for The Weather in this part of the world is used to describe any conditions except a sunny summer day. Talking to locals they are all sure, more of The Weather will slowly come in. We will let some of The Weather pass through over the next couple of days. Including some solid rain. It will be an office day.

We also came here for The Weather, not just the summer.

The view during the approach into Skrovøya becomes already quite familiar by now but I am not sure I like to play with the ferry all the time. In any case we are now safely lined up to a pretty new wooden sheet pile wall.

Fair winds…

Familiar approach into Skrova Island.
