Crossing Oslo Fjord

Meeting the Locals on Brunskar Mr and Mrs. Maxson

11th March 2008

Update: 11 3 08

We left Akeroy this morning at 0815, and headed due west across Oslo Fjord, directly to St Ferder Island, arrived there exactly 3 hours later, then had a quick pee stop before following the coastline down to the small coastal town of Larvik. We arrived here at about 1715. I delivered a yacht here in 2001 and made some good friends amongst the locals, so you can guess what Mark and I are up to, yes we are washing socks and drinking beer :) We plan to stay here tomorrow, admin and visiting the Colin Archer museum. Then if the weathers ok we shall be heading out on Thursday morning. All is good and we are happy paddlers!

RIP Fred

Its a very sad moment for Jeff.  I know how much this little feller meant to him, probably more than me!! He was sadly lost at sea while crossing Oslo Fjord.  The search has been called off and or thoughts are with Jeff.  Its been a tough life for Fred but he has successfully circumnavigated South Georgia and Japan.  I know its a bit quick to be moving on but Jeff is looking for a replacement so if there are any small, fair weather bringing mascots out there let us know!
