With lack of signal I've missed a day or so, to round up we had some lovely walks around selje, including looking further at the monastery and discovering a cave with thanks to another visitor to the island. It was a shame to depart from Selje, it was truly a stunning small island, full of history.
We furthered our journey down the coast aiming for Utvær. With the possibility of heading for Shetland in the coming days we needed to stock up on a few basics mainly water, and looked up the pilot book for nearby anchorages or marinas with a shop or supplies. Finding one we arrived in Færøy, a island similar in size to papay but with a population of only 15. Unfortunately since the pilot book was written there was no longer any of the services offered. We had a walk around the island and all agreed it was idyllic, quiet and scenic. A beautiful spot to stop for any boat. We took the time to get the boat sorted and headed to a nearby marina, Hardbakke on the larger island of Sula is much busier with a restaurant/bar, post office and shop all in walking distance. The scenery is still stunning though, and we had a lovely meal at the restaurant before having a shower and heading to bed prepared for an earlier start. There is a possible weather window tomorrow so we will head out to sea and see how the seas are before contemplating crossing over...
