We left Rott a quarter to six in the morning.

Wind in the right direction but light. The sea was choppy and irregular and the sails were flapping. Ended up sailing with just the code which was OK.

Some other sailing boats around. We moored at the same place as the last time we were here but it was a little to shallow for Mist so we went to the floating pontoon across the harbour instead. Went for a short walk and did some laundry.

Sailed distance 78,7 nautical miles.

After 2 days at Utsira we continued south, we left at 9 am and motored all the way to Rott. No wind and up to 2,5 knots of current, in the wrong direction of course.

We arrived at Rott 4.30 pm. The harbour was almost deserted, just some people that had spent the weekend here, now returning home. Back to work.

We stayed for 3 days, went for a walk and even worked some. Nice place and very quiet.

Sailed distance 34,3 nautical miles.

After reversing out of Kvalvåg´s narrow harbour we set sail and had a really nice sail south. It started with a broad reach in about 15 knots of wind and after a while it became a beam reach and in the end close hauled with one reef in the main. We arrived at the north harbour just before 4 pm.

A quick beer in the cockpit and then we set off on our bicycles to see the island. There is a lot of street art here. We stayed at Utsira 2 days, the second day we explored the island by foot, looking for street art and walking more or less all paths we could find.

Sailed distance 44,7 nautical miles.

We left Bergen an hour before noon after buying some fish at the fish market.

Motoring at first but after a while we could set sail and slowly beating south.

The last couple of miles to the island of Stolmen we had to motor, almost no wind and the current against us. We arrived at Kvalvåg just before 5 pm and moored outside an “in the same boat” yacht (they pick plastic along the Norwegian coast).

We went for a walk.

Sailed distance 30,1 nautical miles.

We were getting a bit low on fuel so we decided to go to Bergen to fill up. Motoring again, through the narrow sounds east of Radöy. Really nice.

Bergen harbour was almost full, we had to moor alongside another sailing boat, a Greek Hanse.

Sailed distance 41,3 nautical miles.

After a good night sleep at Vik we motored out of Sogne fjord. We aimed for Söre Glavaer, a small island with a very protected anchorage. We arrived mid afternoon. No other boats, no people either.

Sailed distance 50,7 nautical miles.

After two days at Flåm it was time to get out of Sogne fjord. No wind at all to start with and when the wind picked up it was in the wrong direction.

Even the current was against us. We motored slowly westwards. After eight hours of motoring we found a nice little fjord arm with depths suitable for anchoring.

We anchored at 18 meters depth and let out 55 meter of chain. Shore felt really close. It was a really tranquil place with only a handful houses.

Sailed distance 40,3 nautical miles.
