Wish for more video in the rough open seas!

I have to agree! The Vikings have gained more respect in the past few years as being more than just barbarians. The design of these ships and their ability to navigate rough seas is still incredible! I have seen the Viking ships in The Vikingskiphuset in Oslo...Wish I could sail on a replica someday!

@BoardkilL You are lucky to have gotten out on such a great ship! I was in Norway in 2002 and hoping to go out on a replica Viking ship in Oslo. My cousin Tom who lives there said there used to be a couple of them at Aker Brygge. They weren't there the day we went there and I'm told that the larger ships don't like them taking up their "parking spaces" I am returning to Norway in September, going to both Oslo and Bergen. I hope there will be a Viking ship around when I am there.

I saw The Gaia when it came to Boston, Massachusetts, some years ago. It was an exciting day, and very impressive!

That's cool. I imagine it would be quite the sight. It's a beatiful ship, and it's impressive that both Gaia and the ships she was based upon, were able to make such long journeys.
Sandefjord is the ships home town, so we see her quite often, but it was only my second time going out on the water on Gaia.

Wow, that's nice! You were lucky with the weather, there were bands of rain clouds over Scandinavia on the 26th.

The day started out quite gray, with a light drizzle, but on our way out with the boat the clouds parted and the sun started shining.
