Great day for a row

I has a post earlier on the "monstermasts"- these major power lines to be built across the mountain region here in Hardanger towards Bergen. We are naturally against a total destruction of our pristine mountains and tourist attractions, and hope that there are viable alternatives to this explosive need for electricity, and the fact that they will be importing from abroad (possibly from coal) to work the offshore drilling. One has to make a show when the prime minister of Norway, Mr. Jens S, makes a show as well, in Norheimsund. We all rowed out, with about 7 other boats, and met him on the way in. Was great weather, lots of people and great plums.

People, flares, bright Autumn sun and Noa.

The PM arrives.

Funny twins. I think they love Ramona...

Boat festival

Last weekend was the Norheimsund Boat festival. This is from the Small Boat Regatta, this year we had three boats for all children. Jasmin has come in first and second these last two years, this year we only reached forth.

And we went on Matilde, for a short "pirate" sail, from Norheimsund, to the Fartøyvernsenter,where Anders works. (Check out the website, to see what he does.) Here you can see Jon Christian, our youth that lives with us, up in the rigg.
