Emil Bragstad (18) stands on Halhjem ferry quay and directs the cars on their way on board the ferry to Tysnes.
– There have been a lot of people going to Tysnesfest both yesterday and today, but today it has definitely been the most. We were prepared and have increased staffing, but on the ferry that left just before 5 pm today, there were 35 cars that did not come, he says.
– Most took it well, and the next ferries have had room for everyone who wanted to come. Even though there has been car chaos on the ferry quay, the stress level on the ferry is low, Bragstad says.
Can not be stressed
Earlier in the day, Fjord 1 issued a warning that the Halhjem-Våge connection was in full swing on Friday, precisely because of the festival. They asked people to calculate extra waiting time.
– We have been to Tysnesfest before, and do not let ourselves be stressed, says Elise Kvisgaard (25).
She sits on the car deck with her friends Lotte Haug (25) and Anna Størksen (25).
– It will be nice to get over to the other side, then we will sway to Ronan Keating, says the group of friends.
Maiken Lyssand Ødegaard (26), Maren Risøen (27) and Elise Hamlong (27) have also not been hit by the long car queues and relax on board before the ferry docks at Tysnes.
– The first stop is Mandelhuset, and then on to the concert. There are many good artists who will perform this year, but Chris Holsten will probably be the highlight of the evening, says Ødegaard.
The group of friends Andreas Thuen Bjørke (38), Tore Matre (42), Frode Hjertholm (41) and Thomas Lyssand (40) from Os, will also go to Mandelhuset.
– It was actually quite coincidental that we took the trip, but we stay indoors and are not going to a concert, Bjørke says.
– Was at Tysnesfest before I was born
Despite the fact that route 1014 from Halhjem to Våge is hectic this weekend, the atmosphere is good on board the ferry.
Sondre Eidsvik (27) has lost count of how many times he has been to Tysnesfest.
– I have been at Tysnesfest for as long as I can remember, even before I was born, Eidsvik says.
Who are you most looking forward to seeing?
– Bjørn Eidsvåg! says the 27-year-old and laughs.

Friends Preben Rangvind (25) and Morten Madsen (25) from Åsane decided to go to Tysnesfest yesterday.
– We will meet some friends and stay at Tysnes all weekend. This is the first time we go to Tysnes party and you can say that this is the highlight of the summer so far, says Madsen.
– It has been a lot of work so far this summer, so now it will be nice to relax a bit, the friends say.
Many take the trip to Tysnesfest with their own boat, the police are on the water to remind people to wear life jackets and stick to the alcohol limit. When BA was on board the police boat, the police stopped a man with 1.16 per thousand.
