Out and about part two or as ve say in Norsk Two.

Good morning one and all even if where you are is night or some other part of the day. starting where I left off,,,,,,, Got the phone recharged a very simple affair first one must find a 7/11 store or a naverson shop. approach the clerk usually a male but sometimes not. with phone in hand. clerk will take the phone and your credit card or cash turn his back on you mutter an incantation (I'm good at those but can't seem to get anything to work) or two. hands the phone back and assures me it now works. We both smile I leave the shop and test said phone,,,,,,, It does. God (of your choice) be praised. Genuflect a couple of times and then have lunch in the park don't share with the Pigeons or gulls though.
    After lunch we go for a walk to Asker Hus and visit the Resistance museum. This takes 3 hours and it was facinating. Tired out tried to do a geo cache but it was gone so stopped for a Ol in stead. returned to the good ship Kalinka1 had a drink and enjoyed the scenery.
     Got up Fri. July 12. took the Tram to Vigelandsparken and had a walk in the park and oohed and awed all the sculptures while adroitly dodging all the tourists. Went off to his museum and and looked at some of his other works and molds. a well spent morning.
    Got underway around 1230 for Oscarborg. ( a fortress on an Island at the narrows in the Oslo fijord) Arrived there around 1630 did the slide in between two other boats while's juggling a stern line and trusting someone will catch the bow before the embarrasing thump. this all takes place in the blink of an eye and works flawlessly.(wait for part two the leaving)
   Oscarborg is the site of an old fortress that guards the approaches to Oslo. There is one large Battery of large guns on the South island. it was two of these guns that took the German Heavy Cruiser Blucher under fire on April 1940. The first two shots were right on the money and set the ship on fire and then it was hit by Torpedos also fired from the fortress. The ship sunk in 200 metres of water with the loss of close to a 1,000 men. It is still leaking fuel oil.
   We did the walk about thing and then decided to leave for Hyggen again. Wind blowing out of the South about force 3, As we get some lines off two boats decide to come in and tie next to us taking up all the Oh,,,, room, there is mis communication between the fore deck and the helm, Stern line let go and it jams! bow lines let go bow swings to the right stern still caught, use reverse get mooring post between outboard and radar post, Now have big audience!! finally clear everything and slink out of the harbour into a force 3 head wind with sloopy seas.5 hours later arrive at our finger in Hyggen. Lots of fouls and errors but no damage.
