Trip – Syvsover

Towards Northern Norway

Tomorrow we start out towards northern Norway! Finally, after all that repairing, upgrading and planing, tomorrow around lunch time we start our journey!

WeContinue reading “Whitsunday to Skjelanger”

The tripContinue reading “Day Trip to Midtre Rotøyna”

Bringing It Home

So I bought the boat, now it was time to get it into its home berth. Having so little experience on boats in general, let alone navigating one that I don’t know for the first time on my own was obviously out of the question. In need for somebody experienced, both with navigating the NorwegianContinue reading “Bringing It Home”
