A new boat owner reflects on his first summer sailing Dus, a vessel purchased in March, on Oslo Fjord.0:07 After a winter spent learning the boat and a spring refit — cockpit teak refreshed, new waterline painted, hull scrubbed, polished, and waxed — the early 80s Volvo Penta engine was coaxed into service and the rig stepped.0:18 Day sails dominated the season; overnight passages kept getting deferred.0:45 One solo attempt reached Dragshundbukta after the wind died in Drøbaksundet and a foul current killed progress.0:50 A subsequent crew trip with friends picked up at Håja by ferry ran into gusty, shifting winds; the crew reefed the mainsail and rolled in the genoa to work through Drøbaksundet, then anchored and swam in flat calm.1:36 A deteriorating forecast — near 20 m/s gusts by Sunday — prompted a deliberate decision to sail home early rather than fight a gale.2:20 A family sail later in the season ended at Steilene instead of the planned Håja, the group quietly agreeing the shorter destination was enough.4:02 The season closed with a 15-minute run to Gressholmen.4:23 The lesson: recognizing when not to cast off, and finding satisfaction in short, present-tense sailing rather than chasing a distant destination.4:45
