The moolit sky was the best and prettiest I have seen, said Bjørn this morning. Or maybe it waqs just his inner feelings for the sailing that came out? But the moonlightwas fantastic. Nearly full moon that gave light all night until the sun came back. When the sun rises behind the clouds in the horizon, the clouds are gray just until sunrise, and the they get these golden edges, and glowes for half an hour or so. Then the sun dries up the mist clouds, and we have thei nice weather that we have enjoyed for a week or so now.

Yesterday a dorado of 2,5 - 3 kg took our lure.  It came all the way to the bathing plattform, then we lost it. Shit! We filmed it so we have the proof, though through the wide angle lens of the go pro it may look small.

This morning Anne Sofie and Eva saw four whales not very far away. Birds do we see every day.
