June 3 – Day eight

It just doesn’t get any better. I was topside around eight to find another gorgeous sunny day. The weather has been amazing even for the locals. This morning I explored town a little more and found a great book on the Faroe Islands so the will be my one purchase. It’s almost noon and the plan is to get underway for the Shetland Islands around one.

We will round this headland to port and have an open stretch in the North Atlantic with a straight shot to the Shetland Islands.
A little bit of ship traffic but headed the other way.

The wind is looking good and we’ll see what the sea state is when we make our way out of the Faroe Islands. The crossing is expected to be about 30 hours.

Conditions were great so this passage is the first time we were able to make way under full sail
