Sailing from Lovund

Lovund is a recommended stop. Beautiful walk (Petter Dass' path), puffins and even a whale oberved from the hills. There seems to be an excellent restaurant as well, but we haven't got the chance to test it.

Sailing - 1

Fixing

Beautiful coast of Helgeland. Extending from Brønnøysund to Bodø.

Glacier in sight!

Sailing towards the Seven Sisters

Perfect sunset-sailing towards Sandnessjøen

Nice but turbulent breeze, with winds from 5 to 25 knots!

Vega

l'Olonnois at the little harbour of Igerøya on Vega

Sunset, moonrise

Long walk on the hills of Igerøya. Perfect match between maritime sights, and...

...rural ones :-)
