Sailing together with other boats are fun

Have you been waiting for a post from me? This summer has been really busy, with full time job, and living in the boat. So this post is from May. May in Norway is full of holidays, also this weekend with three days of. We planned a weekend cruise for sailors in our yachtclub, and one extra boat met up. They were 6 people and we were 4 so it was perfect. And the weather was amazing!

Our friends met the public boat from Bergen

Askrova

Friday we sailed to Askrova, it is only an hour sailing from home.

The guy at the supermarket opened up the shop for us, and we borrowed a room for dinner. We had shrimps for dinner….

An amazing evening in Askrova

Right before midnight

In the morning the kids went to the playground

Værlandet

Then we sailed to Værlandet. We hoist the genaker but we had to take it down pretty soon because there was no wind at all. It took us three hours to sail to Værlandet. Værlandet is a big island with a lot of small islands, together with Bulandet in the west.

You can read more about this group of islands her

The guest harbour in Værøyhamn is very good. Here you will find restaurant, toilets, shower, washingmachine and dryer.

A nice morning

Sunday we wanted to hike up to Høgkletten, the mountain in this photo. It is only 163 meters above sealevel, but very steep, specially in the beginning.
