We mustered a reletively early start to tidy up a few bits and plot a course for our next port. Knowing fuel might be tight we hoped for good weather. Leaving harøysund we set sail for sætervagan. As we went to sea and the sea conditions deteriorated we followed Håvards advice and took the inner leads, the calmer weather in coast meant we could maintain a comfortable 20-22knots while still trying to watch the beautiful scenery. Swapping shifts every hour we all had the opportunity to take in the views. If was in that moment of watching the beauty in the world that we really remembered why we were doing this trip at all. As we came on to the home straight fuel was running short and wanting to keep a safe back up in the tanks we decided to head to an earlier port. Find the closest on the chart plotter we navigated some tight Rocky areas to Lysøysund it wasn't until we arrived that we realised it had been one of the first places we had planned to come to over a year ago. Unfortunately the filling station was closed and the shop had just shut so with the help of a friendly local we were directed to a nearby filling station. The marina is close to a resteraunt/pub where after a much longed for shower we grabbed a quick (and delicious!!) meal before going a walk around the area. There was live music in the evening but after a long day at sea we were all struggling to keep out eyes open and headed to bed. Unsure of how long we will stay here we will do a bit of exploring in the morning. The people are again lovely and welcoming and the scenery breathtaking. The temperature of around 30 celcius is the last thing we had expected from Norway!!
