Olafsvik - Part II
Well if you are following our track it went out into the
bay and then stopped. Actually it went
out turned around and came back again, as did we. Strong winds out of the NE meant a very close
reach to make the point and then right on the nose for about 10 hours to or
destination. We decided to return to
Olafsvik and try again on Friday when these winds will have abated and will,
eventually come around to the SW. So we
have rented a car and are exploring the peninsular. Tonight we are in the Fransiskus Hotel in
Stykksholmur. The hotel is brand new and
is a part of an old monastery, the other parts are a cathedral and a
hospital. Stykksholmur is a nice little
town with a harbor - the ferry goes from here to Flatey Island and then on to
the other side of the bay. We will be
going the same way on Friday if this wind does in fact lay down. Tomorrow we wille xplore the town, there are
two museums and a lighthouse and then move on to the South side of the
peninsular before returning Olafsvik on Friday.
We will try again on Friday afternoon hoping for an early arrival in
Isafjordur on Saturday. We shall see.
