Current Conditions: 90% overcast, with intermittent showers. Not hot. Wind 12-15 kn. easterly
We sailed to Sorvagur yesterday with thoughts of basing here for a few days to hile and spend a day in Mykines. But...
Weather is expected to deteriorate over the next 48 hours as a low will be strengthening and moving east just south of the Faroe Islands. Thus, we have made the difficult choice to leave Faroe today ahead of the change. We will be seeing (we think!) 15-20 kn. east, backing to NE. At least less time here will equate to more time in Iceland.
So we are bound for Seydisfjordur, Iceland imminently. Good bye, Faroes!
Cruisers nugget: There does not appear to be a reasonable place to tie up here. The wharf in front of the old fish plant is occupied by local baots or ferry leaving only the outer wall with tire issues as noted in the guides and one must beware of getting caught below the tires. We had a tire watch with timely adjustments. Not recommended in 2019.

You will next here from us in Iceland.
