National day of Norway

17th. of May is the national day of Norway.

Norway only been independent since 1905.

We were part of Denmark in 300 years, but in 1814 Denmark

lost a war against Sweden, so they had to give away Norway to Sweden.

Norway was mainly a farmer and fishing village, and not worth a shit.

So in 1905 the Swedes let us out.

Today I think Norway is '10 times' more worth than both Sweden and Denmark together.

We used to have only potatoes and fish, but in the 60's we found oil and gas.

Well, there was no parade in Marigot Bay, since I am the only Norwegian here for the moment.

My Norwegian crew from February had given me a selection of Miniature

bottles of all the different Norwegian Aquavit's ( a snaps)

The owner of Bateau Mygo boat charter, Frank and Kevin joined me

in the bar to celebrate the national day of Norway,

and to finish off the Aquavit.

Thanks to Sunny, Per Olav, Nina and Finn who

gave me the flag and the Aquavit.
