YELLOWDREAM ROUTE weergeven op een grotere kaart
Today we sailed ( yes we did sail most of the day!) from mandal to farsund.
Doing so one has to pass the "famous" Cape Lindesnes".
It's not cape Horn but anyway , its a real cape!
Cape Lindesnes , just passed
This time , although the wind was rather modest, there were some big waves around the cape with overfalls and up to 3 meters high (guess). Only about half a mile before and after the cape were affected so it must have something to do with currents or wave patterns meeting. We did pass the cape 8 times before , even in more wind and never saw such waves.
The rest was a nice sail with an average of 4.5 knots and wind from the aft quarters.
We arrived at farsund about 16.00 .
Farsund appoach
Yachts can moor at the town quay with all services and a supermarket next to it. And its all for free!!( exept the showers).
