Today we motored from Kfistiansand to Lillesand , a small town 23 miles further.
During the first part we encountered big waves that however did not give any problems because they were coming from behind.
They probably where the residue from a force 5-6 the night before.
Its always difficult to make a guess about wave heights and making fotos of them isn't easy also.
However I made some of a passing boat which also shows that there was no wind ( look at the mainsail only midshiips for stabilisation)and succeded in making one from a big wave close to the boat.
Nice waves aren't they.
Is she sinking??
A really nice one.
Because of the waves I decided to try the "Blindleyen" , a very small enclosed waterway behind hundreds of islets.
It was a very nice but busy part . Because of the many very small ( down to less than 10 meters wide!) passages there was no time for fotos.
The passages look shallow but the least depth was 4 meter !
I was very happy with my investment in a raymarine A50 chartplotter which was accurate to the meter! Without it it would be very difficult to navigate these waters with a paper chart alone because you must recognize every small island.
This is also the part where a lot of Norwegians go on a holyday so it was very busy and although there is a speed limitr of 5 knots nobody seems to care.
But anyway , we succeded to come to Lillesand ,a smaller town with a good harbour and facilities.
The same evening there was a concert at the harbour so we also had free music.
Luckily it stopped at 2300.
