Grey and light southwesterly breeze today. And the wind was forecasted to lighten through the day.
I saw S/Y Ayla that I was buddy boating with yesterday and today taking the main and wide route south. I thought I should be smarter and tack my way directly upwind through the fairly narrow sound just south of Bolga to get further out, on the outside of the high islands Rødøy and Gjerøy, in hope of the wind blowing a little longer and stronger there. It probably did, but in the end (after two hours) I had to give in and furl the sails and continue on engine. But Ayla was at Lurøy several hours before me.
At my cousins summer house there had been a change of crew and two other cousins (and families) from the two that where there when staying over northbound. Thus I took the opportunity for more family mingling and free dinner.
Since I didn't really feel that crossing the arctic circle once in either direction was quite sufficient, I sneaked myself aboard my cousins go fast boat when they where going on an evening tour.
