August 24
Trip almost ending. 7:39 start. Leaving the beautiful town of Olafsvik, on the northern edge of Snaefellsjokull Nationak park.
 Good north easterlies. Of the bat, all sails up and engine off.

These waters here must have good food sources. Loads of birds. Whilst the sails were going up, we saw 3 dolphins. Not sure what type, but had biggish dorsal fins. They didn’t stop to play.
I saw a sea gull or perhaps a Fulmar, pushing a large jelly fish and munching on it as it went along. Takeaway breakfast I guess 😁
Scratch that about the Dolphins, they did want to play after all. Just waiting for the sails to go up, I guess. We had a quite a few of them playing in the bow wave. 

Along the way, the plan is to go to a remote town of Akranes, which is not usually accessible unless the conditions are just right to drop anchor on the exposed shore. It has a very small settlement with handful of houses where everything including the bin are lashed down against the wind.

We made it to the town and got a chance to explore the shoreline, see the local church abd talk to some resident locals.
