In Denmark we took the boat to Norway, Kristiansand. From there it was a 3.5 hour drive to Sola. The place where Eddie en Sanne live.

Hummelvatnet Masfjorden, Norway - Amazingly Clear Water
This was part of a hiking tour by Arne Berg. He is in the town of Matre about an hour and a half north of Bergen on the west coast. The hike was absolutely amazing with stunning views of the surrounding mountains. We rowed across this smaller lake with crystal clear water to a larger lake. This is Hummelvatnet Masfjorden, Norway.

Expedition SHETLAND BUS - The Documentation - Part 1
The Global Offshore Sailing Team and Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Clubs joint Expedition finished it's first part. See more here.
When you are heading to the North Sea, you'll have to be able to sail. Tides, storms, cold weather, ship traffic and oil rigs will be smashed on your route. Making landfall has to be calculated wisely and the unexpected might be the best to expect. Meaning you better stay with the old Navy SEAL's philosophy: The only easy day was yesterday. For most sailors these are reasons enough to stay away.
For the Expedition Corps of the Global Offshore Sailing Team these are just enough reasons to get in action.
WELCOME TO THE 800 NAUTICAL MILES
OFFSHORE CHALLENGE
Expedition Shetland Bus
Bergen -- Shetlands -- Orkneys -- Scapa Flow -- Stavanger -- Bergen
1 -- 15 June 2013
OFFSHORE SAILING
We will set sails to our 800nm Expedition crossing from Bergen (Norway) the North Sea to the Shetlands (Scotland) and to famous Scapa Flow (Orkneys), one of the great natural harbours/anchorages of the world, with sufficient space to hold a number of navies. Viking ships anchored in Scapa Flow more than 1,000 years ago, but it is best known as the site of the United Kingdom's chief naval base during the two World Wars. Following the German defeat in the First World War, 74 ships of the Kaiserliche Marine's High Seas Fleet were interned in Gutter Sound at Scapa Flow pending a decision on their future in the peace Treaty of Versailles. On 21 June 1919, after nine months of waiting, Rear Admiral Ludwig von Reuter, the German officer in command at Scapa Flow, made the decision to scuttle the fleet. After making our crew change in this historic place, will head back through the up to eight knots strong tidal streams and one of world's toughest sea areas to Stavanger (Norway) for sailing through the beautiful Norwegian fjords back to our homeport Bergen.
EXPEDITION'S HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The Shetland Bus was the nickname of a clandestine special operations group that made a permanent link between Shetland, Scotland, and German-occupied Norway from 1941 until the occupation ended on 8 May 1945. From mid-1942 the official name of the group was Norwegian Naval Independent Unit (NNIU). In October 1943 it became an official part of the Royal Norwegian Navy, and was renamed the Royal Norwegian Naval Special Unit (RNNSU). The unit was operated initially by a large number of small fishing boats, and later augmented by three fast and well-armed submarine chasers -- Vigra, Hessa and Hitra. Crossings were mostly made during the winter under the cover of darkness. This meant that the crews and passengers had to endure very heavy North Sea conditions, with no lights, and constant risk of discovery by German aircraft or patrol boats. There was also the possibility of being captured whilst carrying out the mission on the Norwegian coast.
HISTORIC RESEARCH & GLOBAL AFFAIRS
As international group of sailors we will follow the historic route of the Shetland Bus in both ways, experiencing what this sea area means for people operating in small units with nearly no private sphere and steady watch duty. We will achieve the aim to give our part in the remembrance of the brave seamen who fought on all sides during this time of conflict in Europe. Therefore we will create contacts between countries, associations and sailors, that the memories will always stay alive.
