Dear readers,
we are aware that we made a promise in yesterday's
blog to share our 15-year plan to reach Rodney Bay with you. We have to delay
the transmission of this plan BECAUSE WE GOT FISH! AND WE SAW DOLPHINS!
And all this has heightened the spirit of Ronja to
unprecedented highs and unleashed a wave of creativity such as
this:
Joke 1
Question: What did the sharks ("Hai" in Norwegian)
say when they arrived in the Caribbean?
Answer: Hai Hai!
Joke 2
Question: What did the Golden Mackerels say when
they arrived in the Caribbean?
Answer: Nothing. No Golden Mackerel arrived in the
Caribbean - S/Y Ronja had fished them all!
In addition, the great Yatzy tournament is
underway. Stian spent all afternoon tuning the tournament rules (which is,
we are not proud to say, a lot more time than what we have spent tuning the
rig.....) and the games have begun. Stian, Jan Morten and Vilde are doing rather
well. Harald needs a dice that can roll 7s in order to qualify for the next
round.....
Also, the boat is teeming of quizzes. Stian made
the "when we will arrive Rodney Bay quiz" and Vilde has made a great
every-friday quiz with 10 questions each time.
PRESS RELEASE
The Chairman and CEO of High Seas Production, Jan
Morten Ruud, is happy to announce the promotion of Mrs. Vilde Ruud to Chief
Vegetable Officer (CVO). With her social skill set and gospel singing
background, I feel that Vilde is a perfect fit for the position, Mr Ruud says.
While continuing to have a high focus on our 12V Anywhere service, we are
convinced there is an unmet demand for fresh veggies among Atlantic Vessels.
Vilde Ruud adds: We are taking orders immediately for the first batch of Alfalfa
sprouts for alongside delivery within three to four days. We look forward to
serving you all!
That's all for today. We are zooming along in great
conditions, and soon the pan-fried mackerel with rice & wasabi will be
ready. Thank you for all greetings and emails! They are the highlight of the day
- please keep on sending them!
Yours affectionately,
Crew at S/Y Ronja
