An evening onboard "Christiania"

Splash!

Oernulf overboard in the 25 degree water. Diving under the boat, he checks the propeller... everything ok. It's an "onboard" day today. Except when we're diving into the warm blue waves. Or enjoying the company of the five adult and six kiddie crew on the Colin Archer ketch, "Christiania" and the sloop, "Veto 8".

First we watch the sun sink into our long ocean horizon from our little cockpit table. The pink flamango sky turns black as we row over to the over 100 year old wooden ketch. A great evening on the tared wooden deck draped with coiled hemp ropes, getting to know the crews of our new neighbors.

And we get to help crank the old windlass, to reanchor "Christiania" forward a few meters. Fun! And it gives little 5 tonn "Babette" some more svingroom.
