LIGHT SHOW
We didn’t actually score any wind until Friday which happened to be my birthday so that was a nice treat, what more could you ask for! Sailing a new spot in the middle of an incredible location with no one else around. The rest of the day unfolded perfectly, we got some amazing shots, hiked a cool mountain and then headed back to our hostel for some cold brews and dinner. After a few drinks we were more and more stoked on what we had experienced here and we were happy with the content the guys had produced in just that single day. Near enough midnight we headed outside to grab a taxi to go into Torshaven to celebrate and I kid you not a solar flare appeared right in front of James and I across the northern horizon. At first I thought I was dazed from the long day and amount of beer I had drunk but as it brightened we ran up the hill trying to get the best view possible, it really was one of the most astonishing things I have witnessed in my life and definitely one of the experiences I wanted to have whilst I was out there. The locals I spoke to in town said we were really lucky to see it at this time of year as it’s normally too cloudy and not dark for long enough so early in the autumn. There were a few real cool local bars dotted around the capital, everyone knew everyone there but there was a super friendly vibe and people were genuinely interested in finding out what we were doing there.”
