This is a record of Brian and his brother's voyage from Bergen Norway to the British Isles and back as they crewed an antique square-rigged ship.

Bergen





















The second picture is a view of the ship "Statsraad Lehmkuhl" 5 am local time on the 9th of May in Bergen harbor. My brother and I are gonna sail this salty wench to the Shetland Islands. The first picture is the famous waterfront area called "Bryggen": The Hanseatic medieval market square dating from the 1100's. These pictures were taken hours before our voyage departed.
