Leg 1 Vindön-Bergen | Day 3
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 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.

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.
