Isaac Sharp and Asbjorn Kloster in the Faroe Islands (April June 1862) Journal of Isaac Sharp - May 1, 1862 A morning of bright sunshine! To-day the new governor of Faroeenters on his duties; the captain of our crew has to appear before him officially, so we conclude to go overland on foot, leaving the boat and men to follow by sea, as soon as may be. Kirkjubour There was a swelling current in the Fiord along which we sailed, between Waagoe(Vagar)and Stromoe(Streymoy); the coast was rugged and grim, and toward evening it became bleak and chill. About seven we landed at Westmanshaven(Vestmanna), the merchant, at whose house we called, was from home, but his amiable wife received us courteously, and very willingly sent out to give notice of a meeting for the morrow.
