I'm still lagging behind some ~2 weeks with my vacation posts, but let's skip forward to today. Maybe I'll throw in a short post later covering those 2 missing weeks :)
As mentioned in another post, Weekend trip: Helgeroa, Langesund, Porsgrunn, our family has sort of a relationship with the Russian frigate replica Shtandart. Now it's in Copenhagen. My sister-in-law and her family has vacation now and really wanted to join Shtandart - but there was no space for them. My wife had this fantastic idea, they can just borrow our boat and follow them. On the flipside, I've spent really a lot of energy now cleaning away our mess and preparing the boat, as well as some time trying to teach them to handle the ship and trying to explain all the details ... I'm quite worried about everything that can go bad when lending it to a new inexperienced crew. At the other hand, the skipper of Shtandart said that he would provide a skilled sailor to help them.
The ship arrived this morning to Copenhagen, and we came in later - just in time for lunch! There is also a flipside to that as well, this quay is really meant for bigger ships, meaning that there are no service offers for smaller boat and quite expensive harbour fee.

Here we have just eaten lunch. The table over there is the small table, I was sitting by the bigger table. It got really dense, too many people eating at once! But the food was excellent. I tried to help a bit with the dishwash, but was ousted from the kitchen after cleaning only some handfuls of soup plates. Afterwards we went for a sauna in Christiania - but that's another post.

Seems there already exists some other posts on Shtandart on Steemit:

Fun fact: Shtandart has it's home port in St.Petersburg officially - but it hasn't been there for many years. Due to problems with the paper work (perhaps because the captain denied paying any bribes) the boat cannot enter Russian waters - hence it's sailing in exile.
