Beyond the End of the World: Muros

"Babette" and "Blue Marlin" from Stavanger, set sail to Muros. Along the notorious "Costa del Morte", past the Finisterra headland. The “End of the World”! The Norwegian equivalent would be stormy Statland. But we barely see white-tops on the water today, sailing pleasantly downwind.

By about 6pm we are well-anchored in 13.5 m of water. Anchoring is a new hobby. We heave out a huge pile of chain, the harbor is getting a bit choppy as evening falls. A lovely scenery floating by as the boats all swing in semi-circles on their anchors: sandy beach, anchored sailboats, fishing-boats along the quay, white, glass-veranda houses, red-tiled roofs.

The six year old "Blue Marlin" twins row over to “Babette” with their parents, and help us do our "Flekkefjord Puzzle”.
