Reef it, shake it, rince & repeat

The wind blew all night long but was quieter this morning, the sea… not so much however.

Yet there was enough wind to get out and start sailing. After an hour or two, the wind picked up a bit, but on one tack I needed to reef the mainsail to sail a bit more lightly and not press too much on the waves. On the other, however, I needed all the power of the mainsail to maintain the speed between the waves when they were side on.

Again, I was really frustrated by the limitations of the phone's camera to show how cool the landscape is in this High Coast. It's like a small & round version of the Norwegian fjords.

When I was only 6 NM (~10 km) away from my destination the wind died down entirely for a while and since it was still right in my face… It took me an hour to get one mile closer... fortunately it picked up a bit and allowed me to enter the channel between the islands to get to Lustholmen.
