English will probably be the language of preference for most of the blogs, simply since most of the readers (
skydiving/EET friends) are not of Norwegian origin, which
captain Bent, and I am. This might even add some extra amusement to the english spelling and expressions in this blog!
;-D
The 43 feet beuty -
S/Y ZEPHYR, is an Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 43 built in France in 2002. Bent Laursen has been sailing her since he got the boat in 2004.
In this advent before hauling anchor 15-aug-2010 - I'm blogging from my hometown, Oslo, while Bent is preparing the ship in its home harbour in Ishøj, Copenhagen. The first route will go through the Kieler canal before heading south through the English Channel, crossing the Bay of Biscay and hopefully reach
La Coruna in northern Spain before saturday 28-aug-2010.
A ruff messure of the distance from Ishøj to La Coruna shows 1235 nm. Given an average SMG (Speed Made Good) of 3 knots, it will take 17 days of non-stop sailing to reach La Coruna.
Given my own partition, which is maximum until 28-aug, it looks like I have to find my destination in either England or France.
