The location, as in 2011, was again the beautiful area around Trædal Motel & Gjestgiveri and there were 35 cars on the participation list.

Let me start with an old Opel Kadett


Austin Healey 3000 Mk. II

Citroen DS (Nickname Padde (Toad) in Norway)

I think there should be a thread for the Captains Cars.
Rolf (the Opel) was a great personality of which we have heard plenty.
The following Volvo (?) we have heard very little about. Perhaps it was no success.
And now he has acquired a monster-car. I don’t remember the brand. But a pick up, and a big one, it is. In his own words «my Titanic-size car».

I’m sure we want to hear more about his «monster car». Don’t we? ]]> Sigve http://www.captainsvoyage-forum.com/showthread.php/2745-The-Captains-Cars http://www.captainsvoyage-forum.com/showthread.php/2744-plantinaction-on-google-earth?goto=newpost Sat, 04 May 2013 10:22:07 GMT http://www.planetinaction.com/playlist.htm sailing through the ports by google earth images. its a demo site,but you can upload them for more,but... http://www.planetinaction.com/playlist.htm

A fascinating thing to watch for me, I'd love to see the huge freight trains the US and Canada has one day.

This freight train has just left the nearby West Burton Power Station, ironic that the van on the bridge is in fact a concealed speed trap for motorists on the A631 above the tracks.

Here's one I caught on Wednesday morning going downstream on the River Trent, and very low in the water.
Now I'm no expert on the legal weight limit on these Gravel Barges, but this seemed very overladen with it's gravel load.
What you can see is the water almost level with the deck with millimeters to spare, but on every bow wave it came over the deck. Is this even legal to be sitting this low?







Here is a link to a much larger photo I took, you can see just how low she is.

In August 2013 she is sailing a 10-night cruise to Sognefjord and Nordfjord (clap). Now.. could I find the time to sail with her?

First leg was to Bergen, and as I walked out to the waiting DHC-8-300 LN-WFT, who other than a good friend of mine waved to me from the right seat.

As I entered the plane I said hello to the flight attendand, but instead of finding my seat 11A, I climbed into the front office.
There I was, after saying hello to my friend and the captain, firmly set in the narrow jumpseat for the entire flight from engines start to engines stop at Flesland.

A few pictures follow, and in this first one we are at cruise altitude 20.000 feet just before flying over Sognefjorden


We fly from waypoint TINKO to LISTI, and the next one thereafter will be TAMEG. We also read a strong headwind of 54 knots


We pass over Bergen to our left decending towards Flesland.
Among the vessels being moored there, we can clearly spot Hurtigrutens FRAM


Approaching Flesland decending through 1.560 feet at 120 knots


Flesland is dead ahead, and my friend has full control


400 feet is passed at 110 knots on short final.


Thanks for the ride guys, if you ever read this! Beats every circus, tivoli and rollercoaster in the world (for me). ]]> Plane Spotters Gallery Sterkoder http://www.captainsvoyage-forum.com/showthread.php/2738-Sterkoders-jumpseat-ride-with-Widerøes
