I had no excursions planned for that day. At breakfast I got a message from Virgil that he would be waiting at the quay in \u00d8rnes. Unfortunately, there was only a 10min stop there, but it should be enough for a „hello“. As always, I enjoyed the scenery all the way to \u00d8rnes and was happy to see Virgil again, even if only briefly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As so often on the voyage, I watched the mooring process. For me as a „landlubber“ it was always interesting. This time, the tailboard remained closed in \u00d8rnes. No cargo was taken on board. Only a few passengers got on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The friendly lady at the reception explained to me that we only have a very short stay here. I explained that I just wanted to give a belated Christmas present and pointed downwards to Virgil. While the gangway was still descending, she took a quick look down at Virgil and at my gift and said, „Okay. But stay down by the gangway. When the last passenger is on board you must reboard immediately.“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thanked him and beamed all over. It so happened that I had only seen Virgil very briefly in \u00d8rnes. It was enough to say, „Good day. I wish you a Happy New Year“, then gifts were exchanged and then it was goodbye again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virgil waited and waved until we no longer saw each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virgil sent me some more nice photos of the Richard With.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I went to the polar circle baptism, I brought my gift to the cabin, because I wanted to unwrap it later at my leisure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I joined in and afterwards some from my table decided to join in too. It was very funny. After the baptism we had a schnapps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards we went to put on some dry clothes so that we wouldn’t catch a cold. I also used the time until Bod\u00f8 to unwrap my present. It was a nice surprise. I was very pleased. Of course I thanked Virgil by whatsapp video before we arrived in Bod\u00f8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly before Bod\u00f8, I got a message from Sven (a friend from Berlin) telling me to walk to the back. He would make a video of the arrival with the help of Bod\u00f8’s harbour camera. On his command, I waved as well as I could until he wrote: „You can stop, I’ve got you on it. He edited the video and sent it to me in the evening. You can see me waving in a light blue jacket. Thank you very much Sven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
