Aurora followed the coastline of Norway round to the west and north west after departure before altering to the north around 5.00am and following the routing schemes.
Keeping the snow covered mountains of Norway on her starboard side throughout the day, Aurora was passing the entrance to the Flim fjord (Sognefjorden) around 12.30pm.
By 4.30pm Aurora had altered to the north north-east 22NM off the coast and maintained this heading overnight.
