    Liten tur til Rossøy 1. mai 2022

    Så fin sundags- og 1. mai morgon! Måtte berre ut på sjøen ein liten tur før hjartemarsj seinare på dagen. Eg tenkte berre å gå ein sakte tur for motor rundt Fogn, kanskje. Men i Rossøysundet var der god plass ved brygga og det frista med ein tur opp på toppen. Her er det vidt…

  • Sommar 2021 på Vestlandet

    Sommar 2021 på Vestlandet

    Ferie! Og klar for tur nordover på Vestlandet. Me har ingen faste planar, me ser på vermeldingane. Blir det fint og passeleg vind, går me så langt ut på kysten som me kan, blir det for mykje vind, held me oss lenger inne i fjordane. Utanom ombyggjing til rorkultstyring i vinter, er den viktigaste oppgraderinga…

  • A late summer cruise with a tall ship, and a stowaway

    A late summer cruise with a tall ship, and a stowaway

    It was an old dream. When I was 13 or 14, a neighbour at my father’s age, told me that when he was a young boy he sailed as a trainee on a tall ship, the barque Statsraad Lehmkuhl. At the time, my father and I were building a model of a barque, after plans…

    Around Karmøy July 2020

    July 20 to 25 we sailed around Karmøy, with stops in Kopervik, Utsira and Kvitsøy. The weather was very good, with nice sailing from Karmøy, to Utsira, Kvitsøy and back home. These little communities are very fascinating. Here people have found a living for thousands of years. At Utsira there are remnants of houses from…

  • 2017 season

    Sunday June 5 A short sail in light winds just around the island. I am so happy with the new sails. With the right trim upwind, she just stays on course on her own. I don’t need to touch the wheel for a long time. And the other tack: Karmøy and Kvitsøy, May 25 –…

  • 2017 Sailing north to Helgeland 

    Epilogue We flew back to Brønnøysund in September. I came Friday 15 and made the boat ready until Ellen arrived on Saturday. The initial plan was to sail north to Ylvingen, but the wind favoured sailing south, so we aimed at visiting Torghatten in stead, which was a good choice. We found a small marina…
