On the outside of Frøya

May 30th Sula - Kvenvær

In keeping with the idea to follow the wind. Or rather sailing towards destinations giving the best sail. With forecasted easterlies and north easterlies sailing to south towards Titran or Kvenvær seemed like the best option.


With that chosen next was to find a way through the maze of islet and skerries that is much more precarious  in the direction I want to go than  yesterdays route. In the end I chose the more open and well marked option back (a little) and around on the inside. Downside of that was that the sail eventually became very downwind and slow. Actually not very bad in the nice and warm weather and with the snow covered mountains in the distance it was post card sailing. To hazy to convey the "post cardiness" though.




At Slettingen light house and close to Titran, there where still a lot of nice sailing to be had so I continued towards Kvenvær.  With a more southerly course, broad reach and a little stronger wind due to funnelling between Hitra and Frøya this leg of the sail wasn't as pleasant but faster and more exciting.
