North Norway with SV Antigua: Tromsø-Lofoten-Bodø

North Nor­way in late Octo­ber and ear­ly Novem­ber – that should be a voya­ge into the light, into dark­ness and into the win­ter. We got all of that: beau­tiful nor­t­hern lights – the first evening was gre­at! – sun­ri­ses, sun­sets, some more or less bright hours in-bet­ween and a lot of dark­ness around tho­se, on the edge of the polar night. And ple­nty of snow and win­ter atmo­sphe­re.

It didn’t real­ly work well with the Orcas, the­re was just too much wind that day in that area to look for or to even find wha­les. And, yes, on a more pero­nal account, I could have done wit­hout a bad cold … but hey, that’s life, and other than that I think we had a gre­at time, didn’t we? Thank you to all of you who have been the­re, con­tri­bu­ting to good spi­rits even when it was a bit more grey out­side than we would pos­si­bly have lik­ed. But then, the good moments came again, well deser­ved 🙂

I want to thank Sarah Gerats who kind­ly gave her per­mis­si­on to use some of her pho­tos in the pho­to gal­le­ries on the­se pages. The­se are most­ly from the tours whe­re we went on walks and hikes in dif­fe­rent direc­tions. Sarah’s pho­tos are mark­ed with her name in the image.
