SAILING LOFOTEN
2021- EFJORDEN,HAMMARØYA, TRANØY, LOFOTEN OG DIGERMULEN
In the innermost part of the Vestfjord there are many shorter beautiful fjords that stretch towards the Swedish border. One of the most beautiful is the Efjord, which also offers magical hiking in the mountains.
In Moldforvika you can walk up a few hundred meters and see the fantastic rock carvings.
2020- VÆRAN WEST OF BODØ
Started in Svolvær and sailed across the Vestfjord, then down to Helligvær, Givær, Fleinvær and Arnøya. Home via Landegode. Fantastic island communities with great harbours and cozy locations.
The full moon voyage over to Sørarnøy was one of many highlights. A beautiful week with fantastic experiences and a lot of great sailing winds.
2018- LOFOTODDEN OG GAUKVÆRØYA
The most spectacular part of Lofoten is located on the outer side facing the ocean and is most easily accessible by boat, but if you want to go ashore, it should preferably be good weather and small waves. And if there is offshore wind, it can blow strongly locally out fjords and valleys.
After Ramberg, there are not many safe anchorages before Buvågen at the far end of Lofotodden. Here there are 5 solid moorings, but watch out for offshore winds from the east. It comes like a bullet down the mountain wall and out into the harbor
Sørvågen is the nearest safe harbor protected with breakwater.
2017- LOFOTEN, TROMSØ, SØRØYA, KVALØYA OG SENJA
Further north, the mountains become higher, the fjords wider and the distances greater. Choose a safer route on the inside up along the fjords, or the rougher outer route.
On the trip there are many beautiful places and safe harbors where you can bunker most of what you need. A good idea is a stop at Karsløy, the hippie island, but they have no good harbor if there should be some southerly winds.
Skjærvøy is a good place to stock up on food and fuel, because further north it will be more rare to find a shop.
Loppa island is special, and a must, there is a safe haven, but not so much space on the pier.
Sørvær on Sørøya is a cozy place, no guest harbor when we were there, but good with space along the quays.
