Today in the morning we had to leave early, because a cruise ship was scheduled to arrive and take our anchoring place. It was a cruise from a german company Aida with full of retired people looking for an "adventure" on see. It was funny to see them arriving and taking pictures about everything including us of course. Some of them choose golfing as a day program, some took a bus tour around the island. As a reception everybody got a handshake from a lady on shore dressed in traditional clothes and some girls were playing violin to impresse the visitors.
On the way too Faroer with sailed along the costs of Foula, which has vertical cliffs of more than 300m high. They said us those are the highest in Europe, which I doubt but it was still impressive.
There are two families living on the island; imagine the people living there, how happy they were as we approached their territory. I don´t publish further details; we only watched the nesting birds on the cliffs.
During the night watch, we had some strong wind and did even 10 knots sometimes.
