However, the day we went to Kalsoy, while having absolutely perfect weather, had a reduced ferry schedule, so we had to hustle back to the ferry terminal lest we end up stuck on the island for two days (since no ferries run on Sunday), and we were soon back in Klaksvik Harbor:



One of the sights we wanted to see in Klaksvik was their "new" church from 1963:



Which is quite impressive inside:



And, like most churches, I thought this church had another votive ship:



But it's not. In December 1913, all of the able-bodied men of the village of Skarð in Kunoy died in a boating accident, and by 1920, the village was deserted. This is one of the fishing boats from Skarð

And then, across the street, we hit up Føroya Bjór, the island's oldest brewery (the name means, simply, "Faroese Beer"):



Looking at the piles outside, I thought, "one of these things is not like the others!"
