Sailing in Norway in October had Jamie like...

We underestimated how difficult it would be to leave Norway by sailboat in October

Mowgli is a 4x4 already built campervan and our new home

We got stuck at the beautiful Norwegian island, Hidro

This small fishing village was picturesque

A burger and Fish soup cost $40!

Norway is famous for their delicious fish soup

Sandra accidentally dumped cards and visas into the water. Jamie had to dive in and rescue them.

One morning we made it 5 minutes before realizing it was bad conditions

During our retreat, we at least had a glorious sunrise to welcome us back in

Hiding behind an old fishing boat to avoid nauseating waves

With many trails around us, the dogs enjoyed their runs (and deers we encountered)

Sailing during sunrise with storm on the horizen

Near-disaster struck when the auto-pilot broke

Everybody suffering from IBS (Irritable Boat Syndrome)

The sea-sickness was real!

There were some foggy mornings

Everywhere we went we were the only sailboat stupid enough to still be sailing

Last glipse of Norway disappearing as the sun appears

Getting our first glimpse of Sweden

We were all smiles in the Baltic Sea, where the sailing is much more enjoyable

The girls were enjoying the calmer waters as well

sailing at night using the market lights to guide us

Arriving to marina's at night is always a bit scary

Cold days went by so slow at only 5 miles per hour

Sandra thumbs down, are we there yet???

Our worst nightmare came true when we hit rocks

We had to keep checking the water in the boat to make sure we weren't sinking

Guzel on duty watching for boats in the fog

Journey was clearly working hard as well

We kept a tally of how many miles we had left

Finally one beautiful day we hit single digits

Our final stop at the marina where she would be pulled out of the water and stored for the winter
