About the Hardbakke kai – Nåra kai crossing
Two day patterns and twelve weekly sailings: Monday to Friday on one sheet, Tuesday-and-Friday on the other. The weekend has nothing.
Three departures cover 07:20 to 18:10 across 4.3 nautical miles, at fifteen or twenty minutes.
Hardbakke is the municipal centre of Solund, Norway's westernmost municipality — the only place in an archipelago of some 1,700 islands with shops, a school and an administration. Nåra is one of the outer islands, out where the archipelago runs into open Atlantic and the granite is worn bare. Every route in Solund is measured by how long it takes to reach Hardbakke, and this one runs on working days only.
