Very light winds, old, rolly seas, overcast but a nice trip. Lots of lobster pots. Several seals sleeping mid passage 😅 Engine all the way, one knot quicker after cleaning the prop while diving last night. Islands seemed to be “floating” in the air, strange visual effect. Great trip!

15 knots headwinds, mostly gusting to 25-30 knots. Nice autumn weather, 10 degrees in the start, 5 at the end. Got dark the last two hours, fun to navigate by lighthouses and markers. Motoring last 1/2 hour, lots of lobster pots. Got seasick for a short period in the middle 😂 Amazing starry skies! Lovely! First time solo to a different country.

8 knots headwinds, motoring all the way 😖

Jomfruland to Bratten, Norway
FINALLY something different from headwinds or totally flat! A gentle breeze on the starboard stern quarter (5-8 knots) ending with a downwind sail in to port at magical Jomfruland 😎👌 Some swell and waves, 28 degrees in the air. Totally clear skies. Epic! Added fuel and water in Kilsund, and had to wait 25 minutes to get a spot in the marina at Jomfruland. Should have anchored in stead 😅 Perfect day!
