June 2 – Day seven

We were all up early and into our dry suits at 0630. It was another perfect morning, sunny, very light breeze and warm. Matt asked where we should paddle and I told him that we needed to go out to the finger. He asked if I was going to go solo again and explore other areas. He told me later that when I told him no, that I would paddle with the group that he thought something might be up. And he was correct. We all paddled out to the finger and the group was able to discover the arches I had found yesterday. Everyone had a great time paddling around in there. Then it was a beeline back to the boat to load the kayaked and get underway for our next mooring location.

We are on our way. It’s sunny, no clouds and a light breeze. It could not get any better. We have the tidal current with us and are motoring along and about 12 knots which is great. We should make it to todays destination around one this afternoon.

Some small towns along the way

We pulled into the capital of the Faroe Islands, Torshavn, back on the island of Streymoy and tied up right next to the original part of town which is several hundred years old. The town is actually much older but those buildings no longer exist.

The oldest part of the capital of Faroe Islands. And most government offices are still in these buildings.
The harbor is actually pretty big with a lot of large fishing vessels. And a little shipyard.

After getting the boat secure it was into town to check it out and have a few beers. We all hiked around town, I found ice cream again so all is good!

A great shot of the BYR
Wandering the old part of town.
I finally figured out how they do the grass roofs

Another couple of beers on the way back to the boat and then dinner and I called it a day.
