Tacking the summer holiday out

 August 9th - 15th    Bessaker - Kuringvågen, Stokksund

For the last day of the summer holiday I was decided on sailing at any cost. In the beginning of the sail the wind was blowing from where I had to go. The waters here was also fairly confined so there had to be a lot of tacking involved. And on several of the tacks I was almost on the rocks before tacking.

From the moring (well noon) the wind was strong enough for me to reef the main a little.

Luckily no ships that I would have had to yield to appeared on the narrow parts.

However at a safe distance I met Statsnets M/S Elektron II transporting a road transport transformer carrier with a transformer. Elektron II loads its heavy rolling load through a bow gate and ramp like a WWII LST.


I ended my summer holiday at Kuringvågen. On Monday August 10th I was back at the boat office. I spent the first fall work week there in Teams meetings, answering mails and even trying to produce some meaningful text or documents. After work hours i took the kayak for a spin on several of the days staying there.



The wind farm on Hardbak fjellet that only had the towers when I was here in May was no finished, even if hidden in the fog here.
