As legend has it, there was a troll named Hestmannen who become totally besotted with a beautiful girl called Lekamøya, she however was not interested in him. As he chased her he realised he would not be able to catch her and he decided if he couldn't have her then nobody could. So he aimed for her with his bow and the troll-king Sømna threw his hat, deflecting the arrow and saving the beautiful Lekamøya. The rising Sun turned the hat in to a mountain, Torghatten. Torghatten stands 260 m high with a giant hole through the middle. Today we climbed the mountain and walked through the hole. The scenery was astounding, the mountains and hills through one end and the sea and islands through the other.
We're now off to sea again sailing slightly south we will stop soon for some tea when we find a place to tie up, the seas are slightly rougher and the winds up a bit, there is possibly an improvement in the weather coming as the days go on. For now though we will get a good rest and plan tomorrow morning.

Guys, your Arctic adventure has been incredible to follow, a true adventure! Bit dubious about your diet on the trip, a lot of mention of nachos, but at least BBQ's limpet added some variation. Safe journey back to Papay! Chris
