May 31 – Day five

What a fantastic day! We headed out at nine AM for a short motoring to the next fjord. Beautiful scenery no mater which way you look.

Out of the fjord headed to the next one. Nice weather and calm seas.
There’s a tine little village in the valley above this waterfall. Only. Accessible via a tunnel in the mountain on the right.
We will be paddling around this island later today.

We were told we could tie up at the little pier in the village of Bour on the island of Vagar.

The village of Bour and the tiny pier.

It looked pretty dicey so we went in very slow and the keel touched bottom about 30 feet from the pier. We backed off and anchored off of the village and launched the kayaks right after lunch.

We launch the dingy and then use it as a method for getting in and out of the kayaks. Works pretty good.

We paddled in some caves and arches and around the most beautiful island. On the outside of the island we came across hundreds of puffins. They are the neatest little birds and I’ve never seen so many in one place. Writing about todays paddle does not do it justice. Here are pictures to tell the story.

These cliffs were 400 to 500 feet.
