Inverness to Farsund

 

Inverness to Farsund

We left Seaport Marina in Inverness at 13 local time the 29.06 to be in the sealock at high tide.
When exiting we had the outgoing tide helping us out all the way untill past Lossiemouth.
We motored most of the way eastwards to Fraserborough. We got some wind from the S that helped us on our way.

Geir had radio contact on the VHF with his old work places. The Sleipner gas field and the Draupner gas riser platform. 

The wind died down 12 hours later and we motored in light rain, fog and mirrorlike seas for almost 24 hours.
The remaining 24 hours we got wind that allowed us to sail all the way to our home port in Farsund, where we arrived on July the 2nd.

Passing Loshavn

Loshavn (Pilots harbour) was a small village on the way into Farsund from the west. It has a good view towards the apoaching ships and the pilots kept watch in the small hut seen above the village.
