It seems almost idyllic here with the orca in the waters off Skjervøy. The weather has been kind to us but that will not last for much longer.

The mountains which create the deep fjords provide protection from the winds by limiting their fetch and keeping the seas calm. Still there are limits and a storm is on its way. No matter how bad it gets the orca will not mind here in the fjords but not so for us.

We will be sailing from Skjervøy back to Tromsø so must leave before the storm arrives.
