Vestfjord, this large, half-open stretch of water between Lofoten and the Norwegian mainland, can be a bit of a bastard. I remember definitely more headwinds and unpleasant waves during the many crossings of Vestfjord than fair sailing winds. Also this time it was a bumpy road from Kabelvåg to Bodø. But well, that’s life, we’ve gotta take it as it comes. Weather.
In Bodø, this voyage came to an end, and hence my northern season in this slightly mixed year 2021. It brought less time in the Arctic than I had originally been hoping for but more than feared at some stage.
It was a beautiful and good, certainly including this final voyage on SV Antigua. Great thanks to everybody who was part of this time! First of all Captain Serge and his good crew – I am looking forward to seeing you again next year up north (or elsewhere, for that sake)! Meanwhile, safe and happy sailing!
This is the last travel blog entry for this year. If you want to continue enjoying the beauty and fascination of the Arctic also in December and January, then join Birgit Lutz and my during our online presentation series “Der arktische Mittwoch” (German) 🙂
