North Norway with SV Antigua, 4.-11. November 2024

SV Anti­gua under sail in Lyn­gen­fjord.

Wha­les and nor­t­hern lights – that was the idea behind this trip, one week in north Nor­way under sail with SV Anti­gua, focus­sing on the Kvæn­an­gen area nor­the­ast of Trom­sø on the edge of the polar night. And inde­ed, wha­les and nor­t­hern lights we got. And the worst wea­ther you can only ima­gi­ne … hence it was gre­at to see that even under such con­di­ti­ons we mana­ged to secu­re many gre­at expe­ri­en­ces and memo­ries, from encoun­ters with many orcas plus some hump­back and even fin wha­les, some litt­le walks and hikes and final­ly the nor­t­hern lights – we were lucky on the next to last evening when the cloud cover final­ly show­ed mer­cy and some gaps ope­ned so Lady Auro­ra could shi­ne and dance! But have a look at the pho­to coll­ec­tion below to see all the beau­ty we could enjoy during this week.

The most important thing is to keep the spi­rits up even when it is rai­ning cats and dogs and winds are how­ling out­side. And so we did, it was an enjoya­ble week from the first day to the last. Despi­te the wea­ther we got pret­ty much ever­y­thing one could hope for on a trip like this, taking area and time of year into account, and we had a gre­at time tog­e­ther, didn’t we?! Thank you, ever­y­bo­dy!
