This Easter my dad turned 70!
He has a deep love for all things that float on the ocean,
fishing boats, dingys, tall ships, did I say boats? The sea etc etc.
So my brothers and I decided to give him and organise a great
surprise for his big
surprise for his big
seven 0.
We booked him on to a working holiday on the tall ship the
He will be sailing to from Bergen to Ullapool.
This year the Tall ship celebrates 100 yrs of age,
it just happend to be docked in Bergen when we were over there for Easter.
I captured some photos of it.....
(above photo borrowed from the program.)
A beautiful norwegian tall ship,
that i also have had the pleasure of sailing from
Bergen to Orkney,
The Shetland Isles and back to Bergen.
The trip of a lifetime!
Well, we needed a card to enlighten him of his trip this summer....
So, I made this envelope card:
Dad was needless to say blown away,
over the moon,
and is getting his sea legs ready for the trip!
Have a nice weekend.

Et herlig og maritimt kort Nina! Flotte detaljer og tekster. Dette ble nok faren din fornøyd med. Og du vet vel kanskje at Tall Ships Races kommer til Fredrikstad i juli? En stor opplevelse hvor man får lov å komme ombord i de flotte skutene fra alle verdenshjørner, deriblant både Statsraad Lehmkuhl og Christian Radich. Vi var der hver eneste dag sist de var i Fredrikstad. Og vi fulgte de ut i egen båt;) Må få det med oss i år igjen, for det er vel ikke så mange gangene l livet en har mulighet for å oppleve dette!
