May 28th Sandnessjøen - Nesna
With the work of the week I could revert to be a weekend sailor. Before I left Sandnessjøen I motored across the harbor to the fuel dock and filled the tanks for the first time this year 99.7 liters.
Clear of the breakwater I furled out the sails and headed in the general direction of Nesna. With winds changing direction and strength every other minute (or so it felt) sailing became kind of strange I set the autopilot to sail on wind angle. With the wind direction changing every other minute angle settings and sail trim had to be adjusted often (not every other minute - but often).
The skies was in the same confused state with the sun almost braking through every other minute. With the wind also getting weaker I gave ut sailing in the end and fired up the Volvo and motored the rest of the way.
To keep up with the 10 000 steps a day challenge we have going at work I had to put the walking shoes on and do some expoloring.
The local garden society is maintaining sort of a wild park a bit out of the town. Its more like paths and barbecue areas in nature than a park but really nice.
The "park" is called Bjørndalen so it is really no wonder that it is nice. The only mammals there though was sheep.
