FOOTBALL

Football.
It sounded and looked like the football fever was high in town yesterday evening.

Football fans were out watching the game on big screens.
Here is a glimpse from outside one of the pubs near the harbour area in town.

So who will win the championship this year?

Sunny evening.

It turned out to be a great day.
Sunny evening and with plenty of boats along the guest harbour.

Great view and tasty food.

A nice place for lunch down at the harbour area.

Close to the port.

The Stavanger port office have several of these gifts from ships that have visited our city.

The police.

The police also patrol out on the water.
Looks like a good job to have in the current weather.

Crowded.

Sometimes it is quite crowded at the harbour.
Another nice hot day today.

BATON ROUGE

A luxury yacht at the port.
The American owner of this beautiful yacht is arriving later this week.
I asked one of the people who was busy looking after this nine year old beauty, BATON ROUGE made in the Netherlands .... about a few things, but of course, he was not allowed to give out information.
Well, I hope they will have a really good time in Norway.

SKOLESKIPET SJØKURS

I have had a nice tour around the school ship SJØKURS (Normally based in Kristiansand), where 60 young people can start their maritime education.
From time to time they are out on the open sea.
They had just been to Bergen, and this weekend they are visiting Stavanger.
Visitors were allowed onboard with guided tours.
My guide was Jack Hanche, from Horten. I had a nice and interesting tour.
The ship used to be part of the old Hurtigruten, as "Ragnvald Jarl"

American cars.

Today we have plenty of rain.

A good day to be lazy, also a public holiday ( the Ascension day) and lots of people have made it in to a long weekend by taking Friday off work.

Enjoy your day wherever you are.

SKANDI FLORA is huge!
She is a Supply Vessel,
mainly at work out in the North Sea.

Another cold sunny day.

Today we had a big cruise ship visiting Stavanger with British tourist who were on a 12 days trip up to Tromsø and Alta (North of Norway) before the last stop, Stavanger.

We noticed lots of the passengers out and about with their cameras.

This afternoon they left for Southampton, where they will arrive on Monday.

KRIA, a beauty from the south.

A beauty from the south, a Colin Archer boat made in Randesundet (near Kristiansand) back in 1983.
The couple had had her for 15 years and enjoyed lots of nice holidays & trips.
I met Astrid and John on Sunday, and I have to say that KRIA looked very well kept.

They told me that there is more info. on "Finn", and yes, the photos are a lot better than my snapshot, so do take a look if you know the site and are interested.
