Day 27 – Viewing, not doing . . .

Whatever life throws at you, you just have to make the best of it. Things happen beyond your control. A flexible attitude comes in very handy at those times.

Weather is definitely one of those things beyond our control. A grey, overcast day, full of rain chases after us from start to finish. Do we care? Not much. Every cloud has a silver lining. Like the first 1933 drive-in movie, we sit warm and dry inside. Enjoy the flickering images as we hug one fjord after another, on our way to a very wet and rainy Furøy Camping.

No popcorn on board . . .

Our fjord edging melds into seaboard. A swordfish demands “Stop!” We do.

It’s a war memorial. Operation Seagull foiled by a German sea mine. The Uredd Fearless submarine lay at the bottom, undiscovered for forty-three years. Its mission was to secrete six agents into German held territory and sabotage an iron-ore mine.

The Swordfish points to their final location.
Should we have been surprised to discover that two of the agents were English?
