Close to the island the odd set formed hip-high lines, but these were not breaking properly for the hoped for down the line wave-sailing. So it stayed a cruisy sailing session in fine weather and agreeable temperatures in crystal clear waters. That was nice. But nothing that kept me out for too long. The wind was fading anyway and would not return to this area for the upcoming days.
It was time to move. According to the forecast a 20 to 25 know northerly wind should blow the following day up in Jaren. That would suit the westerly orientated beaches up there quite good, and I was hoping for another side-shore wave-sailing session, this time in less challenging sandy beach breaks. And the fjords and mountains inland that I wanted to re-visit were just an hour drive away from the coast. So, I packed my stuff and hit the road again. The drive on the country road past Farsund and along the Lyngdalsfjorden was the for the area typical panorama feast.
And as I was ready for driving through more fantastic landscapes, I left the expressway at Flekkefjord and turned onto the route 44, the Nordsjøvegen. I had driven this North Sea Route a couple of times before and knew that this was a detour on a very windy road with many ups and downs and that it generally was much more strenuous to drive than the expressway heading for Stavanger. But I knew that it was worth it.
