Summary
Our sailing adventure took us to the wild, breathtaking Lofoten Islands. From Harstad we explored fjord-lined coasts, secluded bays and the rarely visited west side of Langøya. We practised manoeuvres, saw dolphins and braved a quick dip in the icy Norwegian Sea. Highlights included Stø, the Hurtigruten Museum in Stokmarknes and hikes with views of Bjørnfjell and Andøya. The trip ended safely in Harstad – inspired and longing to return.
