The bow cuts a cold, briny spray into the air as the RIB slips between granite walls and a sea eagle wheels overhead, daring you to look up. In two hours you travel from Svolvær’s busy quay into Trollfjorden’s narrow throat, where cliffs rise steep and slick from dark water and the wind seems to push the boat forward.
