Isaac Sharp and Asbjorn Kloster in the Faroe Islands (April – June 1862)

Journal of Isaac Sharp - June 2, 1862

Skuvoy

Left Qualboe (Hvalba) between six and seven, and, after a favourable passage of about three hours, landed on the island of Skuve (Skuvoy). A considerable number of men are absent, having gone in quest of birds and eggs; and are not expected to return before tomorrow. A little company of twenty assembled at the house of one of the peasants. We left this island in a boat about three, and went on foot across the island of Ssndoe (Sandoy) to Skaapen (Skopun), and took a boat from thence to Hestoe (Hestur), arriving there about eight in the evening; and on this island rested for the night.
