It Never Gets Dark at 68° NORTH!! - SAILING NORWAY (MJ Sailing - Ep 127 Part 1)

Sadly, it’s time to leave Lofoten, but our exciting journey is nowhere near finished. And as we make the overnight sail to Bodo, we also discover that although the sun may have set on us for a few hours, it never gets dark up here.

Leaving at 10 pm, we still have the sun shining on us as we begin to leave these ragged hills in the distance, and even when I come on shift at midnight, the sky is lit up in oranges and pinks. We had great winds to carry us 90% of the way to Bodø, but upon entering the channel we were met with glass calm conditions.

We just have to hope the nice weather continues during our stay as we make a visit to the Saltstraumen.

Cheers from Norway!
