We had a big day today. The local newspaper,Sunmorsposten, hired the boat for their staff and customers. Here is Stuart, Ruth and Jenny to tell you about it......

There was a reception of staff onboard from a local newspaper, the Sunnmorsposten who ate a splendid buffet of many seafood nibbles and delicacies prepared by the one and only Tommy 'the cooker' Watt. He blew each and everyone of the visiting Norwegians drarrs clean off with his dashing culinary streak of desire for cooking!

Jenny and Stuart givin' it licks!To blow the drarrs (male and female) back on again there was some splendid tunes from the musicians who have been given a name for their quick beastly style "The Fiddle Spretters". Ruth, Tommy 'the cooker', Martha, Neil 'Smokey' Georgeson , Pauline and Bryan (who nearly fell off his chair he was so tired after a hard day) went to a classical recital by Norwegian music students. They fairly enjoyed it and thought it was just splendid. Smokey liked it so much he just about felt like jumping on the stage to join in. Neil has earned the nickname Smokey becasue he performed with Pete Stack and the Rayburns, which he felt was a splendid honour indeed.

Bryan had been the last man standing at 5am the previous night retaining his crown as North Yorkshire's leading througher (all nighter). He still managed to climb Mount Godoy (450m high!) with sherpa Martha guiding him to saftey, to keep the champion througher from losing his balance which seemed OK until the descent where Brian overtook 300 sailors on da waddir side. The rest of the hillwalkers, Ruth, Martha, Chris, Tristan and Pauline just managed to keep up with splendid team leader Bryan A few of the crew went up to a beer tent later on in the evening with our new crew member, Kristian and his friend Anette. Kristian is a media reporter for a television station TV2 and is covering all the Swan's progress, gossip, and allround shenanigans or misantirs. Before bed time there were more enthusistic visitors demanding a lok o strong drink/drams. The final visitor needed some encouragement and assistance from Kristian and Stewart to leave the boat by heavily escorting him onto the pier. He then decided to expose his love of water by trying to soak them with the pier's hose so thank's to him they did not need a shower the next morning!
