We motored in calm waters and light winds on the nose the short distance (10 nm) from Borgaroya to Sandshamn on Sandsoya (Sandsøya). The marina in Sandshamn has been modified and now features very good pontoons in a square. We went inside and moored below the buildings with just enough water under the keel.

Sandsoya offers several nice walks with spectacular views. We chose the one to Grontua (Grøntua), 250 m above us. We walked counterclockwise and that was a lucky shot. Going down the path we came up (without problems) would have been more challenging as it was much steeper in places compared to the rather easy one we came down on.

There were several places to stop to admire the views and from the top, they were spectacular.
