Atlantic II - Return to Norway
By Trond Hjertø




We are back on the Big Blue again!
  After a couple of great weeks among the islands and reefs in the BVI (British Virgin Islands), it is good to know that my sealegs still are there as expected.
  We wheighed anchor pretty precisely at 15.00 hours, and departed from the island of Anegada in the far north of the BVI, and headed N-NE as soon as we rounded the western end of the world's fourth largest Barrier Reef. There we  found an easterly breeze and about one meter high waves, something us guys onboard Vision calls a silky smooth start! 

MY FIRST ATLANTIC CROSSING!


This is the tale from my first transatlantic crossing aboard my good friend Thomas' proud ship; SY Vision1.

I got up Thursday morning at. 04.20 and went to the airport at Vigra.

"I'M HEADED FOR ADVENTURE!"....was my thought. I was half adazed going through check-in. Still slightly confused, I walked into the security check where I was guided into a stall for an inspection my luggage. A box with various wires, cables and chargers that had been seen as suspicious.
