TODAY’S BOAT TRIP
Yesterday’s boat trip was fabulous! And yes… WE SAW DOLPHINS!
I told the boat people that today is more “cruising” and no swimming stop, so unless I hear otherwise, that’s the plan. That should afford them time to take us up the Lim Fjord and around the neighboring small islands. There were plenty of beverages on board, including white wine, beer, soda, radlers, and even a toast at the end with a local apertivo. And there’s supposed to be deli trays on this sailing as well, so chances are you won’t need dinner after we get back at 8:30. (And on the return, they dropped us near the center of town!)
I’m guessing we’ll sail from the same place we did yesterday, which was about a 15 minute walk from the town center -AND IT WAS HOT! As soon as the boat people confirm our departure point, I’ll post that in the main WhatApp thread. Otherwise, we’ll meet at the clock tower in the town center at 5:00 pm to start walking at 5:10 pm to the boat for a 5:30 pm departure.
For those of you who are sensitive to the heat, I suspect you could get a taxi near the bus station that would take you to the ferry port. A good investment if you ask me.
Again… watch the main thread.
DON’T FORGET TO EMOJI US!
A gentle reminder. If a WhatsApp post says OFFICIAL UPDATE, drop us an emoji so we know you saw it.
PHOTOS
It’s been great to see people posting photos in the Connections thread. We’re collecting those as we go. Who knows… your photo might end up being the featured image in the next Daily Blast!
Looking forward to another great rehearsal today now that we’ve all had a good night’s sleep in the same time zone.
Such a joy to be here making music with you!
