July 14th - Bodo











We did decide to leave the island of Landegode after supper last night and it was definitely the right decision.  The wind was quite strong south westerly and we had a rather bumpy passage motoring but it took less than 3 hours and the children fell asleep quite quickly. There were a lot of boats in Bodo as we were clearly not the only people who had anticipated bad weather. We were being blown off but managed to raft up to a very helpful Dutchman in a large steel boat.

The weather in the morning was blowing Force 7 with frequent very heavy downpours of rain. The wind  eased a bit in the afternoon and the showers were less frequent and heavy but it was a good day to be in harbour. We made use of the showers and washing machines, played Happy Families and then visited the town museum which was small but very  interestingly laid out showing something of Sami  and Viking life and the history of Bodo .It also had an excellent children’s play area. Finished the day with a visit to Pepe’s Pizza place which as well as serving delicious pizzas also had a play area.
