Ran round from Klaksvig to Hvannesund yesterday so we can go round the eastern islands today (wind permitting).

A young man with two small daughters came aboard, he is going to row across the Atlantic next summer in an 8 oared boat.

Trying to set the world record.

Yesterday, we were sometimes sailing, sometimes motoring with little wind;

today we set off in 30knots but gust under the islands are not real wind.

This shows the steepness of these islands, where they are not cliff.

Can you see the sheep?

This was a 25 knot squall but we are back down to 14 now.
