Eventful sailing

As has become increasingly usual this year, neither this weekend did I manage to sit still but sailed in a two-day regatta called Aker Brygge Cup in Oslo. After two refreshing days in nice weather, my achievements span from fine-tuning in the top of the mast to a refreshing bath in the Oslo fjord as I was pushed over board by the boom while sailing on spinnaker (I assume the water to be approximately fifteen degrees centigrade). Crew achievements span from being the first boat rounding the tack buoy, to being the boat finishing last. And wind conditions varied accordingly from strong and stable on Saturday to gentle and rotating on Sunday. Overall the regatta built lots of experience.

While I was sailing, my friend Eirik visiting from Harstad spent the days enjoying live music and shopping in Oslo, while we spent the evenings out together. I really appreciate him having the chance to spend some time with me, and hope that I wasn't to brutal a host leaving him onshore. Thanks for being patient, Eirik!
