Intermezzo

During this rainy, cold and windy week, we stayed in Stavanger. It was time to took care of cleaning, provisioning and putting the affairs of daily life in order. In addition, Stavanger has good museums (really liked the Norsk Oljmuseum, Arkeologisk Museum and Norks Hermetikkmuseum) and a movie theather.

Worth mentioning this week are the wonderful chance encounters we made during our stay in Borevida marina.

Roland shared the picktures he had taken of Fabule while we were motoring out of Lysefjord and sailing with Genoa through Hogsfjord. We were glad to get pictures of our boat under way.

We also crossed paths with 2 amazing sailing couples we had met during our travel in the Lysefjord: Mo and Georg (Melfina) as well as Claudia and Martin (Flying Merlin). It was great to get to know them better and discuss sailing experiences. I learned useful information about seasickness.

The week went on with invitations on each other’s boats. On one occasion, René and Ariane, crew members on Flying Merlin, had a special surprise for us as they opened a bottle of white wine: Domaine des abeilles d’or from Chouilly. Not only was it delicious, it also was produced close to the place where Yan grew up. What are the odds?

As we are expecting a parcel to be delivered next week, we will stay in Stavanger’s area and explore some of the multiple islands and fjords.
