Summer 2023 part 3 : Norway
As the summer of 2023 produced record high temperatures in southern Europe, Astrid and Europe kept driving further to the fresher conditions in northern lands. A 24 hour ferry link from Denmark brought us to Bergen in Norway. The program was a week exploration sail cruise frm the island of Askoy to the isalnd of Fedje off the western coast of Norway. Wives and families joined in on this third leg of the adventure, as did One Life a Drascombe Coaster skippered by trusted William.
What ensued was a memorable adventure, sailing in unspoilt and beautiful settings, cartching fish during the day and fgrilling it on open fires at night, great winds and north sea waves, fantistic sailing grounds. The coast being broken up in a myriad of islands, we always had the choice to look for sheltered passages zig-zagging in the sometimes very narrow passages among the islands.
We reached Fedje and its stunning lighthouse after a short crossing from the islands close to the mainland. Sailing was memorable, the boat beahaved fantastically well and had a real taste of the north sea!
