We arrived in Gamvik this morning, after a quiet trip from Honningsvåg. The mayor and townspeople gave us a very friendly reception.
After lunch we proceeded to Vardø and Kirkenes. Here was our position at 16.40 well over halfway from Gamvik to Berlevåg. (You may need to zoom out on the map to see the nearby peninsulas.) We hope to reach Kirkenes tomorrow evening. Bad weather is expected to hit the coast of Finnmark County on Sunday night.
Marius Hauge, son of World War II hero Jens Christian Hauge, is a Gamvik patriot and the one who organised the reception for us.
Marius Nilsen, Mayor of Gamvik, turned the weel and gave us a lucky number for the trip – and the number is 52.
