Skudenesferjen

Skudehavet har satt en støkk in mange - både turister og haugalendinger. For inntil få år siden, var det her vi måtte reise for å komme oss til og fra Stavanger og sør-Norge, hvis vi ikke tok turen om Ryfylke eller Setesdalen, da! Turen som presenteres i dag, ble gjennomført tirsdag ettermiddag, med avreise Skudenes kl. 15.10, og ankomst Mekjarvik kl 16.20. Og turen var slett ikke ubehagelig, selv om vi merket litt slingring like etter avreise fra Skudeneshavn. 

Det ble nesten som en slags mimretur. Bla gjennom bildeserien, som dessverre er litt preget av litt før mørke forhold, og derav manglende skarphet / kvalitet ):

English:
The Skude open sea area is rough when the weather and waves are beating the rocks on the shores of Karmøy. Until a few years ago, we had to use this ferry service to go southwards to Stavanger. If not, the alternatives were many ferries and a long drive trough Ryfylke, or over the mountains and down the Setesdal.

Its a long time since my last Skudenes - Mekjarvik ferry tour. So, as a tourist, I shot some photos. The dark weather made some of my best scenes unusable, but take a look at these:

Ruten trafikkeres med MS Skudenes, tidligere Tungenes (Skipsklokken)
The ferry: MV Skudenes, The former MV Tungenes, originally built for this service.  (See the Bell)

Ferjeleiet har ikke kapasitetsproblemer lenger. Før var det ofte fullt!
The ferry place was built for more traffic than todays. Now most people use the Bokn-Renneøy-ferries and the sub sea tunnels.

Skudeneshavn, sett fra fryserikaien.
The central parts of Skudeneshavn, seen from the ferry area.

Den trange passasjen ut mot Boknafjorden
The narrow passage towards the Boknafjord 

Så er vi på vei ( Headingbildet!)
and - at 3.10, we're on our way

og vi passerer Vikeholmen med minimal margin 
passing the narrow sound and the Vikeholmen lighthouse

Før vi kommer ut og kan se et gråværsbilde av Karmøys vestkyst (panorama)
entering the open sea area called Boknafjorden - here a grey scrollable view showing the south, western coastline of Karmøy

Like øst for utseilingen ligger det spektakulære Skude fyr.
East of the narrow passage, we can watch the spectacular Skude lighthouse

Og etter 1 time og 10 minutters tur, ankommer vi Mekjarvik
And then, at 4.20 - arrival Mekjarvik in the Stavanger area. 

Takk for turen.
Thanks for following us
