We left Hallands Väderö yesterday under sail, the anchor came up nice and clean from the fine sand.We sailed back towards Torekov, passing to the south of all the skerries, Then we headed north west, but after an hour or so the wind died on us and we used the iron topsail. The fishing line was set out as usual, but we only caught a small mackerel, which we threw back to grow bigger. In the afternoon, the wind came back, and we were able to shut down the engine. In fact we made good speed, and by the time we came up to the little fishing harbour of Glommen it was blowing a good 15 knots. We first found a berth just behind the sea wall, but there was no water or electricity there. On looking around, we found a nice little hammerhead berth which was much more convenient. I was feeling really tired and had a slight temperature, so I retired to my bunk early.
Today we woke up to the noise of the wind and rain, so we decided to stay here for the day. It is Queenie's birthday today, so a fine excuse for a cake! Rie went into baker mode and produced a fine cake and baked a ryebread loaf. Queenie enjoyed a slice and her bowl was licked clean after her first slice! By the way, Queenie is the ship's dog and she is 5 years old today. I don't think she will get the chance to eat much more though - it tastes too good!
From the onboard bakery!
The weather forecast looks a bit better for tomorrow.
