August 24 Torshavn Denmark

 I ended the last entry with the weather turning sour. It did indeed get bad and Husavik was waved off for the second time on this trip, and replaced with Akureyri for the second time on this trip.

This visit to Akureyri was not as pleasant as our first, as it was 40 degrees with a 20-knot wind and intermittent rain. A good day to stay aboard.

We were docked in just about the same place as before. Notice white caps on the very protected waters of the fjord.

Our next port of call, Eskifjordur on the east side of Iceland was similarly canceled and we headed directly for the Faroe Islands. So for us effectively two days at sea. 

Torshavn is our next port of call.

Torshavn is known for its houses in old town, Tinganes, with the grass roofs.

A 45 degree day with intermittent light rain, although just a breeze rather than a gale.  Boat racing is popular here, so it's a good day to get in some practice.

We were just a week too late to see Joe and the boys.

Late in the afternoon there were some openings in the clouds and we got a rainbow.
