The ferry arrived at Skrova Ferjekai on time this morning and as expected on a calm weather day. In any case, the photo exhibition at the terminal still attracs me during any potential waiting time. Typical Skrova Island.
My ride then took me again along the Austnesfjorden until turning left into the Midnattsolveien getting me all along after 20km into the village of Laukvika. While this road is a pleasure to ride, extra motivation came from the delicious home-baked cakes at På KaiKanten Café with its home living room atmosphere.
I had pre-booked a sauna session at the Lyst Lofoten Sauna upon my return from the ride. Decent arrangement with a roof top area for break out sessions and elevated jumps straight into the sea. I am not right there yet. Perhaps my yearly membership and monthly subscription will get me there one day…
The view, whilst sweating in 90°C, towards the world’s oldest civil training ship – Georg Stage since 1882 – came as a complimentary extra. I have spoken to two young crews yesterday. Great tradition alive, very nice encounter, meticulously maintained tall ship. I wish, I could apply but Danish is mandatory.
Hm, tomorrow will be a rest day with some boat work.
Fair winds…
