I was on the water by seven.  I spent the first half of the day struggling with winds out of the left rear quarter which was only a problem until I managed to properly balance the boat.  With food and water supplies constantly changing, I have to move the water bladder around now and then or the boat drifts in side and cross-winds.  At any rate, the small rollers were packing a pretty good punch and wearing me out.  I stopped for a break at a light house on a beautiful headland.  I was hoping to stop and charge my phone, but a group of campers informed me there was no power at the site.  One problem I´ve been facing that I wasn´t prepared for is that my solar panel won´t charge an i-phone unless there is full and unobstructed sunlight.  All of my other devices charge fine on cloudy days.  Luckily, the sun suddenly came out and the wind stopped, so I decided to stop and have lunch and charge the phone.  After I got set up, a very nice Icelandic man stopped and struck up a conversation.  I was intrigued to find out he had spent all of his boyhood summers at a cottage in the area and that his grandfather was in fact the lighthouse keeper in those days.  He took me on a walking tour of the area, pointing out the dozens of ruins from a fishing village in the 30s and 40s.  It was quite pleasant to join in his boyhood memories.  He had not been back to this place since he was sixteen.  It made for a very nice diversion to the weather.

After my delightful lunch with the sun on my back, the winds suddenly picked up from the opposite direction.  This gave me a stiff headwind to paddle into, which, frankly, was much better than the rear quarter wind of the morning.  The wind was around six knots which is quite tolerable.  I pushed on for the rest of the day before settling into a campsite near a remote boat house on a headland inhabitated only by sheep and horses.  Just as I finished, a bank of fog rolled in, even as the sun continued to shine.  I couldn´t see more than a few hundred feet, but the sun was still shining.  21 miles today.
