Our stage starts in BERGEN and ends in TROMSO with around 1200Nm to sail. We will have an opportunity to visit a lot of interesting places on Norwegian Sea. Places we plan to see are Floro, Alesund, Molde, Kristiansund, Trondheim, Bodo, Lofoten, Narvik, Andenes. It is, of course, dependent on the weather and timetable. Most of the time we plan not to be sailing on the high seas what will allow us to penetrate interesting fjords including trekking on glaciers. Sailing on the open sea only when safe navigation requires. One of the special atractions of the trip will be crossing Arctic Circle and a visit of Neptune the King and his entourage. Stop over in Narvik will be connected with the 110th anniversary of the city's foundation. It will be a great opportunity to us to commemorate this historical places connected with our compatriots' war activities. In Narvik we will also meet great friends of Kraków - a music band GROMS PLASS. Sailing through these very interesting waters will give opportunity to learn and expand the knowledge and sailing skills, especially in terrestial navigation and sailing tidal waters. Due to sailing in the midnight sun astronavigation will be also needed. For those who want to get higher sailing degrees there is a great opportunity to practice. Taking walks in hilly and rocky areas will satisfy all hikers and will be a nice springboard to a waivy deck...
