Calf Island Marine Day

We were lucky enough to be at the summer house at the same time as the Kalv Ø (Calf Island) had their annual celebrations.

These are mostly photos of other things than us, but I had a lot of fun and I think some of these photos are rather good (all rights reserved!). But seriously, they do give a good feeling of just how beautiful the place is.

After breakfast on the day (of course I had been up before dawn to get the good photos) we got ready and walked over to the island. The kids got boats made for them and sailed them to the tones of a men’s choir, we had a ride in a horse drawn buggy, we saw a man make a rope (and I just had to buy it!) and had a great time in the hot sun.

The rest of the family went back to the house and can be seen on one of the pictures in the distance watching me sail by on the good ship “Haabet” (Hope), one of the two ‘Tall Ships’ which sailed the bay that day.

That brings back so many memories of Maritime Harbor Festivals when we were sailing the Schooner Liberty. What an awesome time you all look like you had!
