We are now sailing in familiar waters backtracking our outward journey. Same waters but very different. The water is 10 and the air 20 deg warmer. Quite a different dress code and much more boats. Light winds and easy sailing.

We stopped overnight in Mandal for fuel, provisions and a well-deserved shower.

Yesterday we sailed the very narrow and beautiful “Blindleia”. This time we took a detour into Steindalsfjorden and the beautiful anchorage at Luseholmen.

We stayed today enjoying the summer weather and daring a swim for the first time. Water temperatures are now getting close to 20 degrees. Hakan put on the wetsuit and cleaned the waterline and the bottom of the boat (very little growth and only a thin layer of green algae).
