Regatta

This is a view of Oslo from a small island called Little Herbern. They have a restaurant there. Stormel, my guest blogger, spent some time there yesterday and took lots of nice photos from the Færder Regatta that began yesterday. The first boats have arrived at the finish area, but many are still competing right now.

The Færder Regatta is the biggest in Scandinavia and probably also the largest "over night regatta" in the world. More than 1000 boats join in this race. It's the 60th time they arrange this, so it's a pretty long tradition.

In the background you can see the huge cruise ship "Jewel of the seas"

As you can see the weather is wonderful. It's 29-30 C these days. Summer has arrived!
