24th August I am happy to report a straight forward passage between Lindøy and Stavenger – it being mostly an inshore affair, with wall to wall sunshine and mill pond-esk waters. With the end of GREY WOLF’s journey insight, I must admit that Peter’s apprehension has been steadily on the…

20th August Slightly worrying news greeted us first thing, as we found when paying that the harbour master had been rushed to hospital overnight with heart problems. Later in the morning, Andy took a turn wakeboarding (or “scurfing” as it is apparently known) and we headed to Lavøya og Selen….

Bodo has quite the military history, in that it was used as a base to fly spy missions over the Soviet Union. Our arrival coincided with an open air music festival. First mate Trevor was quick to dress up for a night on the tiles, hoping to meet some nice…
