Me and my friends sailed along the Norwegian Coast, from Trondheim in the middle of Norway – to Harstad in Northern Norway. We were very unexperienced, so we brough with us Louis – who was with us the first four days. We were really lucky he was with us, because the engine failed on the second day, and we had to sail into the harbour just using our sails. With little wind the whole trip, I am really glad we got the engine fixed there. Here’s some pictures from the journey. Enjoy!
