Sun.July 7/13 A really late night las night we stayed up talking until it actually got dark! As a consequence we had a lazy morning waiting for Ruebin and Lina to show up. Went for a really nice sail just under the jib on a hot sunny day. Returned to the Marina and then got talked into a swim.
The last time I swam here I was 16 years old the water temperature has not gotten any warmer! Willey's probably gone for two months!!
Today Mon. July 8 Sally, Anne and I sailed into Oslo a distance of 42 miles which took us 8 hours. It turned out to be a motor sail as the wind went onto the nose shortly after we left the fjord. It was kind of eerie sailing over the grave of the German heavy cruiser Bluchere Sunk by Norwegian gunners off Drobek in 1941 with the loss of some 850 sailors. We arrived safetly at the Royal Norwegian Yacht Club and were assigned finger C20 Finger might be the right term at 375 per day. We then jumped on to a Ferry to the mainland where we met Oivin and Ruebin and went walk about the new harbour development. Toronto should be ashamed of itself for what it's done to ours!!
Here are some pictures as promised.
