"Charlotteville Norwegian Sosial Club"

Our first guest, Arild from "Bonanza", is here about 8:30 am. He and Oernulf fiddle with their ham-radio recievers. And we all have breakfast. The next two "Bonanza" visiters swim over: time for a cup o' coffee. Then, who should show up on the horizon: "Snorre"! Soon we have a cosy group of Norwegian boats all anchored in a ring. Not long after we have Ann and Helge from "Snorre" swimming over, after a night's sail from Trinidad. Now we are seven in the cockpit. More coffee!

But a real boat-made cake isn't out of the oven til 2pm. The Canadians, Dennis and Stepnanie, are guinea pigs for a new variation on "Carrot cake without carrots". A sort of spice cake with banana, dates, chocolate (real healthy). Well, there are sunflower and pumpkin seeds on top. We're about mid-cake when who should swim over but ever-hungry David ("Bonanza"). Cake gets top scoring: Just like mom's!

At 7pm all 9 Norwegians are sitting at Jane's (Quality Kitchen). It's Thursday and barbecue night . If you want beer you buy it down the road and bring it along. "Fish or chicken?" And a dozen other dishes. Even "Bonanza"-David doesn't leave the table still hungry.
