Weather and friends!

A late start after our late night we had a relaxing start to the day. We noticed a face at the door and it was the host of the evening before, bringing with them coffee and chocolate to help us get underway. What a treat! Sad to say goodbye again we left Aukra in to a slightly rougher sea which by the time we had come to a narrow crossing had built to quite an uncomfortable sea. Making it through with every wave ending up on the windscreen we took refuge at the first marina we found. With the wind building we heading from the boat to get a few basics from the shop. As we left with our bags of shopping a car pulled up next to us, ready to attempt to explain that we couldn't give directions we leant down to see Terje who we met at Håvards boat yard. He had been following us with his girlfriend Kristin on our tracker and living on a neighbouring island had come to find us! He invited us round for tea and it was great to see old friends again after a week or two further north. A delicious meal and fantastic company we arrived back at the boat feeling blessed. Terje was officially retiring the morning after and we wish him all the best!
