    Day 23 Sellevoll to Cecilie and Jan

    August 4, 2024 in Norway ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Day 23/Sunday 4th of August. Sellevoll to Cecilie and Jan. 20 km, 623 km total.
    We had a reasonable short paddle across Andfjorden to Grytøya planned so we took time for a leisurely morning.
    We then crossed Andfjorden in perfect conditions, only thing we could wish for was a couple of whales -preferably orcas- to appear to break the bit of monotony. No such luck.
    All in all an easy crossing and we lunched at Grøtavær, again feeding on Karianne’s fishing skills, before we paddled on to Stein’s friends Cecilie and Jan closer to Harstad.
    We were received with great hospitality by Cecilie and Jan and Audun and Ingrid and Jørgen and not least Tequila.
    And with great food. Great views and conversations as the sun was setting.
    No tents tonight, we were well accommodated in the guest room.
    Tomorrow we start on the last leg of our journey.
    With tonight’s stay and tomorrow’s forecast it looks very much like we will end the way we have progressed along the way.
    Splendidly.
