I see my favourite doctor made a visit. One of the best Danish bitters, that. Aside from that, I am still in bewilderment why people should go to the mountains, and put planks on their feet when there are lots of sea upon which to sail ones vessel. Put me on a deck from where I can look at mountains...

A very belated thank you, everybody. Have been travelling like crazy for the last few weeks, so haven`t checked in here for a while. Even got to visit Per`s old hometown of Tromsø, and winter again, here is a pic from the city center with the white gooey everywhere. http://i512.photobucket.com/album...

Seems he is celebrating abroad....



Gratulerer med dagen, Gamle Ørn!

Kjell

Course there is a pic....

Thanks, everybody!

Have been travelling the last few weeks, and internet has been low on my priorities, hence my tardiness in acknowledging all the good wishes.

Cheers,

I`m guessing that you won`t allow evacuation on the same side as the engine indicating fire?

Cheers,

No, this is not about donkeys, flying or otherwise. So if that is what you`re looking for, feel free to move along. Now, a couple were out for a nice day on the sea off Cape Town, when they got a visitor onboard their sailing yacht. Here`s the visitor about to step on deck: http://i.telegraph.co.uk/...

The M/K Faxsen is a typical fishing vessel that had this type of engine as the main engine. She`s built in 1916, and the engine is a Wichmann Type K single cylinder 50hp semi diesel engine - from 1936. She`s lovingly maintained by a group of enthusiasts, and here she is manouvering in Bodø harbour. ...

So out of curiosity Per...what does REAL NORWEGIAN AKEVITT look & taste like? Okay, I`m not Per, but I love my Akevitt...... Here`s four brands: http://gfx.dagbladet.no/pub/artikkel/5/55/556/556867/UntitledX1_1228464002_1228464018.jpg Mine`s the one on the right. As for the taste, it really has...

Why, thank you everyone! Per - I put away the skis years ago, but they gave great warmth in the fireplace. Cindy, thank you, and hugs right back at you! Now, an ex-friend suggested I should start wearing this on my lapel from now on: http://i512.photobucket.com/albums/t322/Sir_Bamse/Humor/GOFButton....

She`ll be on a Boeing 777-300ER then. Europe don`t have flight trackers like you do on your side of the pond. You might try http://www.flightradar24.com/ and zoom your way to France. But you`ll need to click on a few aircraft to find hers.

Cheers,

Definately an excellent winter warmer. Your recipe sounds about right, but I would prefer cognac over vodka. Heat the wine and spices slowly, while you stir in the sugar until it is completely dissolved, then add the cognac. Do not let it get to the boiling point. Some prefer the almonds and raisins...

That is the Danish spelling, the correct is:



Cheers,

Okay, imagine you`re a Russian. You work in a warehouse, and your job is driving a forklift. It`s Friday, and you just have a few pallets left to shift before you can knock off for the weekend. You hop into your forklift, and put it in reverse. Then this unfolds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anUEu...

Hei, Per!

Did your Chief Engineer office ever look like this?

That is your colleague on the M/T Stolt Surf`s office after they steamed into a North Pacific storm back in -77.....

Also been on a bender with Erik. And Hjallis. Long Beach CA, they were visiting the seamens church for some seamens welfare do, and once we cast off there we went to the Hollywood on the Pike where much drinking and mirth ensued. Very much drinking.

Cheers,

Thanks.

And that white vertical tail is being adorned with an image of this guy "as we speak"

No docks in that vicinity, Giles. She was at anchor just outside an area of compulsory pilotage. She arrived there sometimes Thursday, and in the course of the afternoon/evening a forecasted gale started to rise. Around 1150 p.m she started to drift, and went aground some 30 minutes later. (Not sure...

Apologies for my tardiness, Sam - you may add (1) to all Norwegian tallies.

Cheers,

Were you walking on your hands at the time, Per? Because if you turn a 6 upside down you get a 9. You saw B737 number 6000, belonging to Norwegian,

LN-NOL

Cheers,

Aircraft was a Boeing 737-505, for those able to read scandinavian the AAIB report is here. Report also contains animation showing landing, rollout and dance... (p. 5 of the pdf)

Cheers,

When did they start to sell Akevitt in plastic bottles?

Beautiful pix and video.

Cheers,
