Stamsund

Day 5/17th July Lysvold Brygga Henningsvær to Mortsund 30 km.
A luxurious breakfast was a good start to an eventful day.
We paddled all five the first couple of hours before Ann-Cathrin and Sigurd turned north to look for cloudberries and we turned south heading for Stamsund en route to Mortsund. It was perfect condition with a few m/s tailwinds.
Arriving at Stamsund we went for ice cream in the local grocery shop without delay.
Then some lunch, then on wards through a series of skerries to Mortsund.
As we handled the boat up on the jetty, a nerve wrecking crushing sound came from Erling’s kayak…
Upon closer inspection the hull was intact but the bulkhead behind the cockpit had come loose
As fortune would have it, this was the day our friend Magnus Berg would come over to visit. He grew up here and is back on holiday.
After the four of us had inspected and discussed and re inspected we concluded that a temporary fix with Tec7 was the answer.
But where to get Tec7 at 7 pm in Mortsund??
Answer was Magnus’ old friend Vebjørn.
So after at 9 pm the boat was hopefully fixed
We had dinner with Magnus and a good nights sleep in a rorbu.
Thursday we head for Moskenes. WPRead more
