Twister arrived Ebbesvik, Sotra (near Bergen), Norway the afternoon of Tuesday August 27 after a 4-day passage across The North Sea from Inverness, Scotland. We spent the better part of the first 24 hours becalmed, so since Bridget had a flight to catch in Norway, on day 2 we decided to set a course directly for Norway. After a bit of motoring, we finally found the southerly winds the GRIBs had been promising and the rest of the passage was incredibly pleasant (though the nights were a little chilly), even flying the A-sail for a good portion of the journey. The North Sea is littered with oil and gas platforms (the source of Norway's wealth) and we actually had to zig-zag a little to avoid some of them. It seems the North Sea is also full of Mackrell. We caught a few and also lost a few along the way.
Holy Mackrell you made it! (Bad pun?) Seriously though, Congratulations! It's been a lot of fun following you along your trip. I'm sure you're happy to stay put for a while, but looking forward to see where the wind brings you next.
