Leg 1, 2024 Vindön - Bergen | Day 1
Yesterday was stormy. We pulled a bollard out of the dock at Vindö Marina. Today we woke up to sun and calm waters. It was time to leave the magical good boatbuilders at Vindön. ISBJØRN has received a makeover worthy of a queen. We motored to downtown Henån to get groceries and a restaurant meal. Tomorrow we head out to sea where ISBJØRN, and maybe we, belong. All is well onboard.
- Jon, JoJo and crew.

Dolphin party!
Kate was about to yank the spinnaker’s sock down when I spotted a stampede of fins heading straight for us. ”Dolphins!”, I yelled back to the cockpit excitedly. Post dinner dish duty was halted down below for the show.
The pool is open!
We stopped the boat, got the ladder down and put out a line with a fender behind the boat. I love swimming in the middle of the ocean, and a bit scary when you realize its more than 4000+ m deep! Love it!
Big Pink Sail Day
I had a most fashionable pointed striped hat at dinner, and out of the depths of a cupboard a cake was created, after 14 days at sea. A group of people I had never met two weeks ago made me feel very special today.
