Barbecue dinner at Villa Verde, Borgholm

Old friends of Cpt. Lasse kindly invited us to Villa Verde, their little apartment hotel, for a hot shower upon arrival this morning, and later for a barbecue in their beautiful garden. The owners of the hotel, Anette and Kjell, knows Lasse from sailing days in the Caribbean. It was great to have a proper sit down dinner after many balance act meals at sea. After dinner Terry played a couple of much appreciated country favorites on his ukulele.

The owner of Villa Verde, Anette, has really "green fingers" as you can see from the pictures shown here. 




World Yacht Crew Appreciation Day

World Cabin Crew Appreciation Day was celebrated around the globe yesterday, on May 31. As a former cabin attendant (8 years in the air with Norwegian) I was inspired by this celebration to initiate a "World Yacht Crew Appreciation Day" to honor all fellow crew mates around the world. 

Onboard Jennifer we will therefore start to celebrate this day on June 1. A special and salty sea lunch will be served: smoked mackerel from Allinge, Bornholm together with a delicious potato gratin á lá Tore and a mixed salad based on what is left in the vegetable net in the galley. A well chilled chardonnay from Australia will be a perfect match for this meal for any off duty crew member. Active crew will only be served Jennifer still water...
