Heading South

After reaching our furthest point north, we untied the dock lines this morning and pointed the bow (figuratively) south. In reality, we are motoring our way through the islands, fjords and skerries and could be heading in any compass direction at any time.
We have had an absolutely fantastic time here in Mid-Norway. From the moment we left Green Turtle Cay, Bahamas, we have pushed to get here and we finally were able to sit back and relax, if only for a few days. In the 13 days we were here in Lauvsnes (Pronounced 'Loves Ness', AKA, 'The Love Nest') we were able to kick back and relax, Norwegian Summer Vacation style. This means we burned a lot of calories and consumed a lot of calories and took in a whole heck of a lot of beautiful scenery in the most beautiful weather of the summer, all in fantastic company.
Alas, the nights are getting noticeably shorter already and the Bay of Biscay (France) is that big scary spot that keeps us moving, pushing south once again to beat the fall storms that ravage the area. We still have a lot of visiting to do but that fall push feels very real when we are actually moving.
We have many, many stories to tell, and I have a feeling we will be metering them on over the course of the next month as we have time and internet availability.

Happy ninth birthday to Anna!
