Sailing at last!
The Bridge at Tromso
Tromso - an oil rig destined for the Arctic?
We woke to a wonderful blue cloudless sky and a gentle southerly breeze. Motored out of Sorlenangen fjord and at long last where able to put up our sails for the first time this summer! We set off down Grotsund towards Tromso – firstly on a very broad reach and then gently tacking down wind. Wind about force 3 and calm sea - what could be more perfect? After 6 hours we were approaching Tromso when we saw the 3rd small motor boat of the day - No bigger boats and one yacht. A few more boats as we came into Tromso. The wind dropped towards the end but we had had the most perfect day’s sailing!
We had some difficulty in finding a berth but eventually Christopher backed with huge skill into a very small space and we were met on the pontoon by our friend Ragner who had brought a bottle of wine and fresh prawns for a perfect Norwegian midsummer’s day evening meal.
