#65 | Sailing Arctic Norway: Can it get any better?

In this episode, we take you on an unforgettable adventure through Norway's stunning Arctic landscapes! 🌟 Our journey begins on the enchanting island of Senja, where we embark on an epic bike hike, challenging our folding bikes on the rugged trails . 🚴‍♂️✨ After our exploration, we set sail from Finnsnes towards Tromsø, often referred to as the "Paris of the North." Along the way, we tie our lines for the night to a quaint floating pontoon on the idyllic island of Ryøya. Here, surrounded by pristine nature, we fire up the grill for a cosy barbecue under the northern skies. 🌌🔥 The next day, our voyage continues as we make the short trip to Tromsø. After spending a few days there, tackling much-needed repairs and maintenance, we’re ready for our next destination—the island of Skjervøy. Before reaching Skjervøy, we pause to savor the peaceful surroundings of the Nord-Lenangen Fjord. With its majestic mountains and crystal-clear waters, this hidden gem offers the perfect backdrop for a restful night. 🏞️⛵ Join us on this incredible journey filled with adventure, tranquility, and awe-inspiring moments!
