The Santosa Nordic sailing experience came into its own this week with the Guest Crew sighting a whale<\/a> and reports of some excellent sailing against a beautiful backdrop with Mother Nature playing her part every minute of the day.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Day 5 Andoya to Fiskevaeret Skipnes<\/h2>\n

Had a cracking down wind sail today down the NW side of Andoy to the Vesterlalen island of Lynghaugen.<\/p>\n

Under mizzen and headsail we bolled along in 20-25 knots, blazing sunshine and quite a rough sea that Santosa handled beautifully.<\/p>\n

The backdrop of mountain ranges was amazing. A few white snow patches here and there but mostly brown and green.<\/p>\n

Almost tropical, indeed Nick likened the setting to Hawaii and David thought it probable we would be met at the beach by 3 savages with spears.<\/p>\n

Fiskevaeret Skipnes is charming. There is a wooden wall and a pontoon. A wooden collection of buildings painted white that serve as pub, party building and caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n

The bartender arrives today (14th June) for the season that ends in September. The views of the surrounding mountains are stunning and today we plan to stay put.<\/p>\n

There is a movement towards some fishing. In the pub is a picture of a man stood next to a 300kg halibut.<\/p>\n

That is the target. Some plan to walk and explore the surrounding foothills and others to sit, relax and look up at the mountains.<\/p>\n
