May 30 – Day four

Still in the bunk at the start of the day and our boat is still rock and rolling. We finally made calm waters in the Faroe Islands and I slowly got myself going. It was around two o’clock so I’d spent about 34 hours in the bunk. I’m pretty beat as I was not really sleeping but rolling around.

We docked at the commercial docks in Vestmanna on the island of Streymoy.

As soon as we got the boat all tied up we all went for a walk around town. I was still pretty beat but the walk did great things for me. On top of that, we found the local grocery store. My shopping list included an ice cream bar and fresh strawberries. That’s what I really needed. I’m feeling much better now.

We started discussions on the plan for tomorrow. Looks like we’ll relocate the boat to the next fjord over and launch the kayaks for a great paddle.

Here are a few pics from our journey coming into the Faroe Islands.

Yep, a small stone “house” just for the sheep.

Walking around town there are a lot of neat houses with grass roofs.
