Final sail of 2020

 October 7th - 11th    Brekstad - Orkanger

I took the car from my home outside Oslo and the 500 km up to Orkanger where the boat is going up on the hard.


On the way there I took a detour through a fall covered and as ever spectacular Romsdal. I even stoppet at Verma and made a short walk down to a view over Kylling bridge. 


The weather was a little too gloomy for me to fully admire the sharp peaks in Romsdalen and here in Eikesdalen. 


Around Eresfjord somebody had made a sort of art installation by placing brightly painted bikes around the landscape. I'm a little unsure to the need since this i a very pretty part of the world bikes or not, especially in fall colours. 

After spending a couple of days at my parents I took the high speed ferry out to prepare for the last sail of the season. This was also the only trip on this first corona year that I had a visitor on board since my sister joined. 

In a grey and sometimes rainy weather the trip was fairly on spectacular, but it is always nice having company so it became quite enjoyable anyhow. We even got some downwind sailing before the wind again wained. And by then the strange sailing season of 2020 came to an end. 1163 nm miles sailed (to be honest - mostly motored) and 86 nights spent a board. The latter thought,  not bad for a weekend boat spending 6 month of the year on the hard, is mainly due to the stay at home corona restrictions allowing for doing my office work from the boat.
