Descriptions and reviews

Dan Mossmann says:

description

Popular and safe bay to moor in, especially sailboats that anchor here.
One can also easily moor close to the shore on the port side inside the bay.
Watch out for the 0.7-meter shallow area after the entrance on the starboard side.
Good holding ground in muddy bottom.

Furthest inside to starboard is consecrated ground which was used as a burial site for shipwrecked sailors and seafarers who died of plague/cholera. 6 Icelanders were buried here after a shipwreck just outside Vikelen in the early 1800s. The work was done by those who were allowed to keep wreckage such as ropes and sails/materials found after the shipwreck.
One of these had to be dug up again in the presence of the sheriff after some time. The reason for this was ugly rumors that they were buried shallow, naked, without prayer/hymns, and not in consecrated ground. The rumors were then put to shame, and the malicious rumor-mongers were punished. (The sheriff couldn't verify all of them as they were in such an advanced state of decomposition.)

Want to know how the wind score works? Then you should read this explanation.

The next night score shows you the worst hour between 22:00 and 08:00 the next night. We recommend that you check multiple sources for wind forecasts. windy.com is a good website to show larger wind systems.
