Osen

When we left papay on 9th July we were heading towards Osen in Norway, we landed in Skeld in Shetland and met some lovely people. When we left sheltand on 13th July again setting sail for Osen we landed in Harøysund, again meeting lovely people. Sometimes things going against plan happen to provide us with experiences and friendships we would otherwise have completely missed. Third time lucky and we left Leka heading for osen, following a rough guide with a few detours on route via the island of Otterøy and watching incridble scenery. The number of houses in far distant areas that have electricity is remarkable, many islands are joined by bridges and the ferry services offered are phenomenal. When staying in støtt an island of only 25 we counted 4 or 5 ferry boats before we had even had lunch. Another thing we have found interesting is how so many of the houses along the coast seem only accessible by boat. With most having their own private pontoons. We eventually landed in Osen. As would seem the norm on our adventure we missed the shop by 15 mins and had another cous cous meal, although we can't complain, with sausage, sweet corn and tuna extras it's quite a tasty meal! As we were travelling in we had seen an interesting lighthouse and went to see if it was possible to get to it via foot and after an hour's walk We were blocked by a 20meter stretch of water. Ah well a lovely walk anyway. We will head towards vallersund for fuel tomorrow but have no plan on where to spend the night, we will take it as it comes, such is life at sea!!
