Day of sorrow

Ytre Skjelfjord.

Ytre Skjelfjord.

Ågvatnet.

Svolvær.

This was to become the most surrealistic day ever.

We had a lot of plans and we thought we would start with Star peak. But when we came there the rock was really wet and also it started raining a little. This was not according to the forecast so we decided quite early this is not a good day and so we turned down again. Instead we were going to Mannen so we drove to Å and went in Ågvatnet. At the end of the valley my phone rang. It was the Red Cross. Missing man in Kabelvåg. Immediately we understod it was our friend. Since his sister yesterday posted on fb to know if anyone seen him. We last had contact on sunday. So I called in to say we would be there in 3 hours (since we were so far from Svolvær). Then we had do get equipment from the depot. We met up at Vestfjord Hotel. Inger was the only one from Vestvågøy and she was going with the dog search team. So I just gave Anne Marit a vest and we went with the Hadsel team and one guy from Vågan. We searched through the small boat harbour, checked every boat. Later we went back do get new directions and something to eat. Two different dogs had marked in the water so they were investigating that. Soon it will be dark. Then they sent us home to continue search next day. We went home and still hoping he would just be in a tent somewhere with the phone out of battery. I was just going to bed when my phone rang. Eline gave me the message of death before I would have to read it in the papers. We are in a state of shock.
