ADVENTURES AT SEA

It is not so long since the Faroes were a place for explorers, difficult to get to and difficult to travel around. Not like a group of islands stretched along a mainland coastline, where you could seek shelter if it got too rough, but a mysterious mountainous country, infinitely far away in the wide ocean.

This is not true any more, now there is welldeveloped infrastructure on the islands. You can arrive in comfort by air and travel in transport system, you have to admit that infinity has been greatly reduced in our day.

But the ocean is still there, and it is only when you are out on the sea that you experience the original adventure that drew the explorers to such a distant part of the world. To sail between the islands and along the Faroese coasts is to experience the tremendous feeling of the presence of nature that people did in the past and the islands that from the air look like small islets and skerries lift themselves as massive giants, reaching up at the sky reported by lyle edward donkersloot.
