We flew on an SAS A320 to Oslo. I sat in the last row. The flight was short, but because we were so far back. There was little time to drink the complementary cup of tea.
However the views from the window were really nice as we descended towards the Airport. I'm grateful that the clouds had cleared.

We all collected our hold luggage before meeting our bus only metres from the main entrance.

Next Stop Fredrikstad!Les mer

After only 48 minutes in the air we touched down in Norway at Stavanger Airport.
We reached the international arrivals terminal by bus and had our passports stamped. As we were catching a connecting flight our luggage had to be re-cheched-in. We were initially directed to self service bag drop but the computer didn't work. So we all queued at the manned check-in.
After security we entered the serene environment of Norwegian airside.
Its very nice with quiet restaurants and lots of modern architecture.
The gates are displayed hours earlier than in the UK. Also, there are no 'final boarding calls'. It's so laid back. So Hygge!Les mer

The journey has begun!
We left Lerwick on the Hrossey at 7pm.
If this were a movie I'd play Willie Hunter's tune.
I met with the rest of the Shetlanders sailing on the Statsraad Lehmkuhl. I'm nervous but excited! Accommodation is a reclining seat at the Bow! The boat is pitching, but hopefully I won't be seasick.
Still, I can't quite believe that this trip has started!Les mer

Last month I found out that I was successful in being offered a place on the Norwegian Ship, Statsraad Lehmkuhl in the Tall Ships!! I'm going on the Cruise in Company leg, from Fredrikstad in Norway to Lerwick!

The sail trainees met together tonight to learn more about the trip and received information packs with Ship details and packing lists. We also collected some official Sail Train Shetland merch! It's getting exciting. Less than 3 weeks to go!Les mer

Today I was on board the Swan, getting a taste of sailing. The Swan is a sailing ship built in Lerwick as a herring drifter and more recently fully restored as a sail train vessel.

At 9am we set off from Albert wharf in Lerwick, sailing out the south mouth and stopping at Mousa for lunch. The other tall ship applicants and I were fully involved in the running of the ship. Roles included hauling up sails and making adjustments when tacking. There were also chances to take turns at the helm and do activities such as filling in the ship's log. After 9 hours at sea we made it back to Lerwick. The experience was hard work but still very enjoyable. Plus I didn't feel seasick! The next thing is a wait to see if I'm successful in being offered a place on a ship in the Tall Ships Races in July.Les mer
