What a night. ISBJØRN ghosted into the night. Happy to be in her element again. We did 2 hours on and 4 hours off. Sleep never gets good the first night on a passage. But everyone got at least a few hours dreaming about the moonlight and stars the on watch enjoyed. What a day. When the sun climbed over the horizon the wind slowly evaporated. But the silence was to precious to be broken, so we enjoyed slow living on a mirror sea until noon. We had just sailed past Lindesnes, the most southerly point on mainland Norway.

What a day. When the sun climbed over the horizon, the wind slowly evaporated. But the silence was too precious to be broken, so we enjoyed slow living on a mirror sea until noon. We had just sailed past Lindesnes, the most southerly point on mainland Norway. We made a "skål" to the famous, at least in Norway, cape. Then we headed into the tiny and charming Korshamn, the locals enjoying the warming sun and the excitement of a visiting yacht in February.
We will stay here until the wind fills in from the south tomorrow. All well on the sunny Norwegian coast.
