Haugesund and Skudeneshavn

On the way from Husnes to a quiet anchorage

Taking a late-afternoon swim in the 14°C warm water

Leaving the protected fjords

Crossing Sletta, a dangerous sea area with hundreds of rocks and great variations in depts (250-1.5m), during a calm day. Locals fishing around the submerged rocks.

Entering Haugesund through a narrow chanel from the north

153m offshore working boat (18'150t) with 28'500 hp

Entering the center of the city with its 37'000 residents

Old wooden houses

View to the guest harbour from the main bridge

Heading further south and aiming for the middle of the low bridge

Big cruising ship nearing with 20kn in the narrow Karmsund

You don't wand to bi in front of it...

Skandi Vega - another offshore working boat built in 2010 (length 110m / 8'100t / 35'000 hp / bow thruster 4'000 hp / 50m2 moon pool)

Lighthouse on the south corner to Skudeneshavn

Entering the old town of Skudeneshavn, which used to have a big herring fleet in the 20th century.

The harbour is around several bends rigth in the center of the old town

Quiet pier, due to corona there are almost no other guest boats

Complicated shipping lanes outside of Stavanger

During the first 30 miles we had nice downwind sailing

Leaving the skipper with spare time for knitting, before the wind got stronger and the waves alarmingly steep (see next blog)
