Anchorage at Bukkøya, Norway

Starting out with some nice winds, we had the jib up (no main) and downwind sailed for about 5 hours to reach Bukkøa bay where we anchored and explored [Avaldsnes]19 which was a fascinating place to see how the Vikings lived.

Unfortunately, the winds came up rather strongly and we decided to move to a better location. However our new Volvo D3 150 decided it was time to misbehave and went into 'Safety Mode' where we were restricted to 1200 rpm. We didn't know what was wrong but were able to get to another location anchor for the night. The next morning I called a Volvo service center about 25 nm away from us and he helped us diagnose the issue so we motored slowly about 25 nm to his facility to get the engine repaired.
