On Board HMS Falken
28 December 2014
The Swedish school ship Falken, arrived in Las Palmas some days before Christmas. HMS Falken is a brig, built in 1947, owned by the Swedish navy and used for educating cadets. One evening we were invited on board for a snack and a drink and to see the ship. We spent a couple of ambient and interesting hours on board. And before we left, Berit was invited to come back for instructions in astronomical navigation. What an opportunity! Finally I have learned how to use my beautiful sextant, now it is all about practicing…….
