At sunrise it was still a bit cloudy and I thought the sunglasses were the wrong choice. After an hour into the tour it cleared. The summer seems to end - at least that’s what the wild geese say. They started tracking so...
Calm easterly winds, fresh but pleasant morning temperatures - so I set the course towards Tingholmen. It is at the eastern edge of the island chain. On the way the rocks change from the Phyllite on the western islands t...
Surprisingly nice weather with less wind than forecasted. Via Flataskjæret to Snekka, then Lihalsen. Following the eastern shoreline of Gandsfjorden to Dalsvågen. Then crossing the fjord over to Jåttåholmen. From here st...
What a luck! Chains of shower clouds in the East and West - and me in the middle under blue sky. Dramatic clouds in all directions. I used the light NW wind and crossed Åmøyfjorden head on. I rounded the island paradise...

Very calm summer morning, four days to summer solstice. I started at 5:00 to have natural to myself. Many other boats were anchored in all the sheltered spots. All were still asleep. Lots of Eiderducklings were out with ...
Another early morning tour in southeastern direction, this time clockwise. It started a bit misty, only little wind from southern direction. When I arrived at Raudsteinskjæret the sun came out for a short while. Colours ...
When you look at the pictures today’s tour was a rhapsody in blue. Pleasantly warm temperatures in the early morning. The low standing sun with the reflection of the sun on the mirror like water surface created a double ...
Back to normal conditions for July: cloudy, gray with scattered showers. Light wind from the East made me go to the southern tip of Vassøy, curve around some islands close to Vassøykalven. Then I headed towards Lindøy li...
Bright sunshine lured me out, prepared with sunglasses. Soon the sunglasses were superfluous. Low clouds formed a sunscreen eventually. The wind blew from northerly direction. I went through Langøysund against the wind, ...
Three hours later I could have enjoyed sunshine. But nothing beats the quiet early morning on the fjord. First though one has to pass urban Stavanger Øst with its high rises. But then, when crossing over to Marøy nature ...
Light wind from north-northwest - that meant going north early in the morning. The temperature had fallen to 7 degrees Celsius, many layers of clothing were still required. Due to the temperature low clouds were shifting...
Fresh wind from northwest made me stay leeward from the islands. This way the waves didn’t slow me down. I circled through Lundsvågen, passed Naturskolen before reaching Lundsneset. I briefly considered going “Hundvåg ru...
Similar conditions as yesterday: perfect post midsummer sunrise tour with almost no wind and warm air. On a Sunday morning that early it is quiet even in the busiest cabin paradise - 15 minutes by the regular speed ferry...
Whitsun Monday early morning trip in beautiful weather. Still very quiet. People crept out of their tents for the morning toilet at the shore. Almost no wind. You could smell when you passed an island with a forest. You ...
Very quiet. Almost no wind. No sound of breaking waves. The little breeze came from the north. So: first with a northern course through Langøysundet to Sandøy and then crossing over to Storholmen. It consists of two isla...
Starting at sunrise - the short summer nights are soon history - I passed Vassøy and Tunsøy before turning south. Initially the wind was blowing head on but eventually died down when I wished for some fresh tailwind. I ...
After a rainy night the day started with sunshine. Southeasterly wind lured me into Gandsfjorden. As usual, choppy waves slowing the progress. Taking pictures means being pushed back as one can see on the track. Leaving...
Happy coincidence: weekend and nice weather! I started around 5:00, the sun was already up and risen above the mountains in the Northeast. Almost no wind and only bird noise. I went in northeasterly direction into my fav...
Very quiet morning, almost no wind. Passing through the ships at Åmøyfjorden anchorage I turned around Lineholmene. Then following the South coast of Åmøy before crossing over to Storholmen.
Northerly wind but much less than forecasted - so back to the island playground. I enjoyed the sunrise although it was delayed due to clouds over the mountains. Thursday evening we listened to the Alpen Sinfonie by Richa...
A quiet morning tour into the sunrise through Stavanger harbour then round Store Marøy towards Usken. Here the cold air from the pine forest fogged over the water. Imagine the wet pine forest smell!
Clouds and fog in the mountains while the sun rises and warms the back. A wonderfully quiet early Sunday tour.
Unexpected sunny weather. Heavy showers came down further North. Peace and quiet, everyone else has to work - nice to have holidays.
An early summer Sunday morning tour through Stavanger harbor, passing Lervig, Pannevigodden lighthouse, Ramsvig, Godalen. By the time I reached Godalen, the sun had risen above the distant clouds. Without sunglasses I ha...
The prediction was 4m/s SE wind but in reality no wind. Pleasant morning temperatures. I went to Tunsøy, passed through the sound between Tyttebærholmen and Bukkholmen and crossed the fjord to Snekka. Surprisingly no boa...
