Well... almost. \ud83c\udf2c\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">During the night, the wind picked up violently, accompanied by rain. Suffice it to say that my dreams of returning to the former American base at Straumnesfjall vanished: the rain is still okay, but the wind makes everything dangerous and exhausting. I remember Patagonia: the wind almost doubled the walking times and transformed every aerial passage into a combat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">A little sad, yes. But mostly grateful: we were safe during the orange alert reported in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Taking advantage of a lull in the weather, we packed up our tent and set it ashore to try to catch the 10:15 boat Hr\u00f3lvur had told us about. Too slow: it left without us. Never mind, there will be another one. Maybe. After talking to a hiker with a &quot;Swiss look,&quot; a boat finally arrives at 3:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Gabrielle takes the opportunity to paint at Hr\u00f3lvur&#039;s, with a breathtaking view from the window, while I go back to hang around the whaling station, hoping to see the seals again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">At exactly 3:30 p.m., like a promise kept, the Borea Adventures boat appears. The sea is rough, the wind is violent, and the waves are to match. Fortunately, the journey is short: about an hour. In the cabin, the phones start to vibrate and ring again... a brutal return to civilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">Back in \u00cdsafj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, we drop our bags in a guesthouse for two nights: put away our gear, plan what&#039;s next, and most importantly... finally get some quiet sleep. In the evening, we head to a lively Scottish pub: quizzes, laughter, discussions\u2014and the surprise of running into a Borea guide we&#039;d already seen several times in the reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">The rooftop tent will have to wait: seeing the gusts even in the sheltered bay, the choice of the guesthouse seems obvious. Tomorrow, a quiet day in this city full of history, which I had crossed quickly in 2008 (for a spare tire, true!) and in 2016 (for a reason that still escapes me).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\">#Inkavik #16August2025 #\u00cdsafj\u00f6r\u00f0ur #Hornstrandir #BoreaAdventures #WildIceland #IcelandTravel #SlowTravel #CarnetDeVoyage<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udccd \/\/\/rouses.pulsates.weaken On nous avait pas menti.
