#63 | Sailing Arctic Norway: Fishing, Midnight Sun & Puben på Meløyvær

Join us for an exciting sailing adventure as we leave the rugged island of Gaukværøya after a challenging night at anchorage. With a refreshing sail up the scenic Sortlandsundet, we reach the modern municipal harbor of Sortland for a restful night.
The next day, we navigate the narrow Risøyrenna, connecting Sortlandsund with Andfjorden, and set our course for the remote island of Meløyvær.
Along the way, we reel in our dinner in just over a minute!
Our adventure peaks with a visit to the legendary Puben på Meløyvær, a notorious watering hole where we enjoy an evening of music, camaraderie, and the magical midnight sun.

Now that is one good evening. Life time moments to cherish. Wild food mostly comes with parasites. I harvested a red deer last week and it came with 'keds' in the fur which i still keep finding a week later. 🙂

As usual a stunning video - I love your style - videography and music selection - how exciting.. great fishing skills and what a cook. You guys spent two winters in Largs - did you stay in any marina's in Ireland? Thanks Dirk

The fish you got are Torsk and Brosme ( Norwegian name), they are in the same family, Brosme is a very good fish but very tough to cut into.
