Weather forecasts continute to get worse. This morning the wind was continuing to rise along with the waves. I managed to force some progress for nine miles, but the sea state was quickly becoming unbearable. Winds had been predicted over 20knots, and that was certainly coming true. I made a surf landing at a nearby farm to rest and possibly camp for the night. I am very glad I stopped. The ocean is currently a blowing mess, with three lines of constantly breaking waves preceeding an army of angry white caps disappearing on the hazy horizon. It feels good to be on solid earth. The weather is not predicted to get better for several days, but you never know in Iceland. One of the farmers insisted I take my lunch at their house, which I was happy to do. I declined an offer to stay inside for the night, prefering to be close to the boat in case a break in the weather allows me to get into the fjord and relative safety from the waves. Now I wait.
