Entered Norwegian waters at 17:00 BST exactly. Not much
different
![]() The overcast day continued until about 4pm. Light winds
had us trying different tacks and sailing most of the day with the cruising
chute up, until light winds forced us to switch the Engine on again at
14:30,then taking the mainsail down and setting the Genoa, to provide us some
stability and a little extra speed.
Seas getting progressively lumpier, meaning a little
more care needed to move around. Still not to bad though as it's to continue
until tomorrow.
Lots and lots of Dolphins today. If we go up forward and
call to them and whistle, they stay for a long time. If we ignore them, they
quickly head away.
