Afternoon sailing with an old friend turned into a sightseeing event, as the only wind we had for an hour and a half was a few minutes of light air. It lasted long enough though to move us from safely drifting in Lysakerfjorden, right into the shipping lane with a ferry approaching, before it died down again. That was the moment we gave up sailing and went sightseeing instead.

Afternoon sailing with old friends, in fresh to strong breeze. It became a gray and chilly afternoon, so we thought it proper to stop for coffee and moored off the Oslofjordens friluftsråds mooring buoy at Gressholmen.

Afternoon solo sailing down Bunnefjorden, the maritime version of a blind alley. This afternoon in moderate to fresh breeze. At one point the chubby little cruiser made 7.2 knots close hauled.
