After a few hours of mixed weather we pulled in to port at Kvamsøya a small island just above the dreaded peninsula. Discussing with a local what the weather forecast was and how the seas behaved we decided to wait it out for the weekend, a possible early morning or Sunday trip should fingers crossed see us well on course to our next destination.
Accepting the fact we would be around this area for a day or two we made the desicion to go to the neighbouring island in search of a WC and shower. A twenty minute motor and we landed in Sandsøya in an almost empty marina. Nice facilities and a shop nearby we stocked up and had a lazy tea of fish and bacon. As we finished our tea the empty pontoon seemed to become a hive of activity with more boats arriving as we left for a walk. Amazing scenery round the hill, again we were surprised to have the wonderful scenery to ourselves.
When we arrived back we chatted to the skipper of a nearby boat, who once more kindly shared some local knowledge and explained himself and the fellow boats were travelling around the area together, spending his 60th at sea, what better way?!
He also let us know that his yacht club had recently built a stunning boat clubhouse that is free to use by visiting boats. We plan to visit if time permits.
