Day 2: We set sail!

Let the super amazing cruise with the best boat in the world begin!

At 8 o'clock we raised the anchor and dropped the ropes and set sail. By this time everyone was awake except Maria and Rebekka. Ann Iren and Adrian left first on board their ship, Leyla. 

With a top speed of 4 knots and two hulls, L/B Marie's ride is very smooth and the engine doesn't make much noise. About half an hour in the cruise Eline asked me to take a picture of Marie from a distance. So I boarded the little boat September and rode it in front of Marie and took pictures of it from the front and the side. I then did the same with Leyla:

We sailed for about 2 hours and we stopped to fuel the four boat (in order of amazingness: Marie, Layla, Raskesara and September). Here Adrian joined us in L/B Marie, leaving his mother alone to sail Leyla. (By the way, the two girls were still asleep; they slept until 11:30 or so).

For the next two hours until we arrived to the first stopping place of the cruise, Middagsbukta (we arrived around noon) I chatted with Adrian and waved at any boat we past. Everyone in those boats took pictures of L/B Marie, because, well, do I need to repeat myself? It's the best boat in the world!

After Tore dropped the anchor and tied Leyla to Marie we finally had breakfast outside and after that, Bjørn Sigurd, Adrian and I had a short (but intense) workout immediately followed by a swim in the fjord. 

As Adrian is in charge of "entertainment" he decided to get his piano so he and I could play, while the adults were chatting. Later, Bjørn Sigurd, Marie, Rebekka, Adrian and I played a weird game of dice that I think Bjørn Sigurd just came up with it 2 minutes earlier.

Then we went to Sandvika on Leyla for a little cruise and walked around the city. Here I realized that by car it would take about 20 from Bygdøy to here and it took us 4 hours plus whatever it was on this small cruise to get here. But it doesn't matter, because the idea of this trip is to relax and have a good time.

When we returned to Marie we had dinner and then a little jam session by Adrian on his guitar.  And then it was time for bed.

Unnofficially the first day of the cruise

Today Eline, Tore and I made the last clean up to Levebåten Marie before all the guests would arrive. That meant that I had to move from the lower deck to Raskesara, which meant I had to pack all my things and take them to Raskesara. I thought I had to be finished before 3 o'clock, the (alleged) time Bjørn Sigurd, Wenche, Maria and Rebekka were to arrive.

---5 hours later---

The family arrived! But this wasn't before Adrian, Ann Iren's son, came to join us in the cruise. Anyway, the nine of us had a big dinner and Eline gave us the chores we are supposed to carry through this trip. As you can guess, mine is to write a blog telling you, the reader (who might be a family member or someone on the cruise judging me), about our adventures on the best boat ever, Levebåten Marie.
