July 3rd Tromsø - Kvaløyvågen
The long forecast showed good stable conditions for the next days so I had the chance to sail the wild outside of Senja. But first outside of the larger island west of Tromsø.
Before could leave I first had to sail under the iconic Tromsø bridge, and go to the former seaplane port of Skattøra on the northern tip to fill diesel. Afterwards I could unfurl the sails and start tacking against the wind, but as soon as I left Grøtsundet that has I northeasterly direcion and went into Kvaløysundet (northwesterly) the wind disappeared and my Volvo had to take responsibility for propulsion again.
I sailed to the small fishing village of Kvaløyvågen, where there was a major convention for the seagulls with the president taking there high seat on top of the crane.
Flowers, beaches and sun - and no bathing - maybe the remaining snow on the mountain in the background explains why.
As pretty as this is, it is still seems a little overpriced when this property is sold for 4 million NOK. But I guess that a fairly large piece of waterfront land near Tromsø has potential.
