Showing our colours – and our largest sail, the gennaker.

Update: Just past midnight. Børge, Thorleif and Vincent are at Ørland, near the mouth of the Trondheimsfjord. More tomorrow.

Børge comfortably dressed for fair-weather sailing.

After excellent sailing last night, we are making a brief stop at Grip, an island near the town of Kristiansund. We had excellent sailing last night and have covered half the distance to the mouth of the Trondheimsfjord. Kristiansund is the northernmost town in Western Norway. In a few hours we’ll be entering the Trøndelag counties, altough such boundaries mean little at sea.

We’re now enjoying a relaxed breakfast, and will soon continue our northbound journey.
