After a weeks rest in Tonsberg, Jammy Dodger set off again on Friday evening for
Brevik (40 miles), where new crew Sam Storey will join on Sunday. Only Jan and
Danuta at this point, so the local family were press-ganged. Welcome cousin
Anne-Cathrine and her two boys Niels and Jonas. Friday night was spent at
anchor in a lovely bay on NE Tjome. The early start on Saturday was frustrated
by thick fog, so the crazy Norwegians went swimming. 14 degrees C!!! Niels
dived in three times! When the fog lifted we had a lovely sail in
sunshine under main and jib, effortless 6 to 7 knots in 8 to 10 knots of wind,
what a boat! Dropping the main was interesting, but we actually did
really well in the end. Missed the shops, but Neil’s chilli con-carne
saved the day!
