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"

Rosenberg

The shipyard Rosenberg has had different owners, but always kept ROSENBERG in its name.
It is located at Buøy / Hundvåg, a short drive from the city centre.
The yard has been involved in the ship and oil business for many many years.
Today it is Rosenberg WorleyParsons.

Suddenly we got a sunny start to Sunday.

After all the rain we have had, it was a nice surprise to wake up to a blue sky, sunshine and even though the wind was a bit colder than usual... it made a good start to the day.

A British Naval ship was in town.

The flag was blowing in the wind.

And some of you might even see "a face" in it?

Keep warm and enjoy the rest of Sunday!

VIKING QUEEN.

Another grey rainy day.
I love the bright colour of the supply ship / offshore tug  VIKING QUEEN, and the feeling of being at the beach...
