Towards Northern Norway #0 - The Plan & The Boat
This summer I am sailing to northern Norway with our sailboat Syvsover. After last year full of repairs, upgrades & preparations I will finally depart Bergen with my destination the arctic circle. I will keep a slow pace throughout the journey and want to learn as much as I can about the fauna, flora and the people on Norways west coast.
This is the first episode of the trip. A prequel so to say. It got just finished in time before my departure. In the first part I talk about my person and the background to this trip. The second part focuses on the boat, i.e., our Nordship 35DS.

When I took our boat on land for some maintenance I found that the anodes on the saildrive were used up very unevenly. The anode on the saildrive looked almost new but the one on the propeller was completely gone. I suspected a fault of some kind here and started "troubleshooting". But after reading up on both parts I found out, that it is actually a feature of the Volvo saildrive and the Volvo...
