difficulty of this stage
is 3 out of 5
The challenges here are different from open ocean sailing. But we still have to cover 45 to 50 nm per day in average, and we'll be dealing with parts
of open water, intricate coastal navigation, potentially strong tidal currents, and changeable weather conditions typical of northern latitudes.
Late May to early June typically offers a lot of sunshine, but conditions can change rapidly and we may encounter some fogs. As we sail northward, we'll experience increasing daylight hours, culminating in the midnight sun as we approach Bodø.
