Fantastic weather here in Kristiansund today, and as I drove along I spotted a nice little tug by a remote dock.
Let me present to you "Oskar" which I belive is from Ålesund...
"Oskar" was built at Seutelvens Verksted in Fredrikstad as yardnr. 66 in 1952.

You know, Elizabeth...., I don't know how the surroundings are in Tennille (although I've been to Georgia...., by a single-engine aircraft, the Piper Tomahawk, when I flew from Vero Beach to Savannah and back), but here I can tell you a little bit about my city:
It's built on 4 islands (Nordlandet, Kirkelandet, Innlandet and Gomalandet), so we HAVE to see the sea and ocean if we want to or not.
In the middle of the lands that Kristiansund are built on lays the harbour. Kirklandet is the main land, with the city center and City Hall. Nordlandet had all the ship yards and has the airport. Innlandet is what we can call the Old Town and Gomalandet had the recreation aras and the fish industry.
I guess you'll find more if you Google 'Kristiansund'...., as I will later with Tennille

Puh...., well...., that's one of the drawbacks with Photobucket...., you HAVE to have a working link to your picture....
"IF GOD COULD MAKE ANGELS...., WHY IN HELL MAKE MAN?"
Can't wait to see your lovely town in person some day...I guess you'll find more if you Google 'Kristiansund'...., as I will later with Tennille
Oh, I did have a laugh at the thought of googling Tennille...and so I did. Just about all you get is the coordinates...LOL
Just go read my blog sometime if you REALLY want to know what happens here in the Middle-Of-Nowhere www.maisoncourouge.blogspot.com I will try to remember to take some truly AMAZING photos sometime soon...we actually have running water and indoor plumbing here............ the closest thing we have to a body of water (other than my aforementioned bathtub) is the beaver pond down the road....................

Lucky you!!! Whenever you take a bath, you can fire up your battery driven ships and boats, or buy a bunch of boats with rubber band engines to play with. Your bathtub can suddenly be a huge ocean.....other than my aforementioned bathtub
(And remember to buy yourself a captains cap with scrambeled eggs on the brim, and maybe a coat with four golden stripes on the sleeves. What a sight....

I am going to have some explaining to do to my family......

Back on track with an image of a coastal freighter called Folla which I think is doing service for a company called Biomar (fish farm feeding company?): seen arriving at Rorvik an afternoon just before Christmas.

Sorry, Sir!! I guess we were cought by the joy and happyness of the holidays...Back on track
By the way;
Nice picture of "Folla". She's a general cargo/pallet carrier owned by Folla Sjøtransport AS in Rørvik. Formar name was "Hardangerfjord" and she's yardnr. 106 from Th. Hellesøy Skipsbyggeri in 1982....;-)

Ummm... thanks for the information on Folla: I guess this is not the same Folla as before (as in 10 - 15 years ago) then? Do you happen to know when she changed her name from Hardangerfjord to Folla?
I thought this was the famous Folla which assisted Narvik when she ran aground back in 1997/98 some time....

Thank you for the tugboat pic. I needed my monthy tug fix.
My info says 1994, when she also had a rebuilt. Don't know how she looked before that though...Do you happen to know when she changed her name from Hardangerfjord to Folla?
"IF GOD COULD MAKE ANGELS...., WHY IN HELL MAKE MAN?"
My pleasure!!!
I was particularly satisfied with that first one alongside the dock....
Special light just after the sun set this time of year.

just found out that this little beauty in fact was bought by a chap younger than me, living not far from me, earlier this year.
Yes, it sailed with Ålesund as home port before, but now it's new home port is Kristiansund as she's the first vessel of the new company Frei Taubåtservice AS (Frei Tugboat service Ltd.).
Thought you might want to get updated on the latest info....

Hello Jan-Olav, and happy new year!No problem at all...

I thought this was the famous Folla which assisted Narvik when she ran aground back in 1997/98 some time....
The Folla assisting Narvik in 1991 sails now under the name "GG Hunter" She was sold from NTS in 1994 and was then named Utsira and covered the Haugesund - Utsira line.
I had the pleasure traveling with Folla in 1993 when a friend and I was going on a biking trip in Vikna. We traveled with Folla all the way from Trondheim to Rørvik, a 24 hour trip as the ship called at tons of places, big and small, including Namsos. A great trip it was
