The Tall Ships are coming to Stavanger, Norway in July -- just wondering if any Mudcatters coming this way? I can highly recommend the Irishman which has a good house band (Harbour Band) with great repertoire and inviting to guest singers.   I am toying with the idea of sailing from Shetland as a complete novice hand before I get too old for anything and washing up in the harbour after 3 days hard retching ...

Cheers,

Brian
