We came round to Vopnafjordur yesterday.  The morning was wet, motoring out round headlands and sailing when the wind was not directly ahead.  It was a cold with the wind still from the north and snow close above.  People laugh at me for not wearing socks when sailing (they only get wet), yesterday it was socks, boots and gloves and full ski gear under the waterproofs.
 
In the afteroon the sun came out giving magical views of distant snow covered peaks, a little earlier and they could have photographed, the closer and more dramatic ones had just disapeared behing a headland when the sun arrived.
 
Here is one coming into Volnafjordur, they all looked volcanic in this group.
 
 
Today is warm again, the sun out and shirt sleeves, but we are in harbour.
