Stormy weather..

..or not! It is now a few hours since we crossed Stad, and the weather couldn't have been better! But of course, couldn't have been better at Stad means waves at 2 meters, and peaks at 4. A little hint of sea-sickness at first, but after a while it was aaaaall good.



Here's a video from when it started to get real bumpy around Stad. The shaky camera handling is not my fault, its the seas :)



The water calmed quickly once we had rounded the worst point at Stad, Vossa. From there it was just a matter of time before we'd reach Måløy. In the meantime it had started to get a little windy, so we got ballsy and tried out the sails.

They came quickly down though, since they couldn't beat our speed by engine.
I feel I look real sea-worthy in the next shot :) Our inflatable emergency escape, we have to move around if we are to use the sails, since space is a limited commodity around these parts.



Around several places in Måløy the local newspaper has put up web cameras, so we thought we'd hook up the mac when we went by one of them, and here we are; the unnamed boat from a distance:



We had a quick pizza and a bought a fender in Måløy and then we were off to Askvoll, where we're gonna spend then night in a house, yay!
We are making good time too, the boat has suddenly decided to give us 2.5 knots extra :D

Here is a shot of Måløy as we left the place.
