Today we motored from Egersund to Stavanger. A trip of 54 miles.
As promised there was hardly any wind (except from later that afternoon)so the sea was calm and we could go the whole distance instead of having a stop between in Tananger.
It was a rather uneventfull journey apart from the fact that we passed our most western point at the west cardinal buoy "Jaerens rev".

Jaeren is the area we passed and its a flat part of norway in front of the mouintains where much of the food is cultured.

The rest of the trip was as said rather uneventfull and we arrived at the new (2007) Boreviken guestharbour at just after 18.00 .
Boreviken Gjesthavnen
Normally Stavanger has two guest harbours but because of a big food festival "Glatmat" the old Vagen harbour was blocked for visitors.
We were very lucky to get a berth at the Boreviken harbour.

Today two gigantic cruise ships arrived in the Vagen harbour which is almost totally filled by them. Cruise liners regularly visit Stavanger.
One was the Dutch "Werkendam" from the resurrected "Holland America Lijn".
So there where lots of Dutch talking people in the town.

The other ship was an even bigger Italian cruiser.
We will stay another day in Stavanger and then go to the Lysefjord which is one of the most famous fjords in norway.
To be continued.
