Koster - Langesund

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!

Langesund - Koster solo

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.

Erik Dahle - Lykke til! Med montering! Er nok muecseiling å lære av erfarne regattafolk som også kan brukes til turseiling.

Sandvikene - Jomfruland

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!

Beautiful weather, but wind straight in the nose. Great sailing the last hour. Saw porpoises and seals. Fished a bit but no luck.
