July 10th - 13th Sandnessjøen - Lurøy
Despite have gotten glimpses of the upcoming sailing holiday I was really ready for a break from work. So much so that I felt the need to quit early and leave for the islands after lunch. (I always keep some excess hours on the clock to have this freedom, urgent tasks allowing of course)
There where a really nice southwesterly breeze today so I was really eager to get the sails up. The fenders and ropes was tidied away in a rush and I turned the bow to the wind to unfurl the main inside the harbour. Since I still was going north, point of sail was pleasantly reach and later broad reach before ending ut as a run as my course became more and more easterly. Admittedly I have a lot left to learn to trim my sails efficiently for reaching but today that didn't matter since the wind was strong enough to give good speed anyhow.
I spent a couple of days at my childhood paradise of Lurøy and did some social distancing with my cousins that has taken over the house I spent my childhood summerholidays.
