Not one photo of a lathe or wood dust/shaving/tools anywhere.

No shots of fellow/females turning not stashes of wood :no::roll:

By Woodturners does it mean that your turning the props.:U

Gentlemen Please!!

Have a mate who went on this cruise in 2008 and LOVED it.

I can vouch for Norway as being one of the world's most beautiful places.The people are friendly and easy to get on with and the women are gorgeous.


So there!:tongue2::tongue2::tongue2:

Mr Tea Lady has always wanted to go to Norway. :D

There won't be a language problem, y'know. Arthur is a transplanted Ozzie.

Cheers,

Did the conversion, ~ OZ$4700 plus airfare, missus said i should go :2tsup:.

I just read the fine print :oo::

"There are no shops onboard (exept a BIG woodworking supply shop!) and since the owner of the ship is a school with a strict alcohol issue, there will be no bar onboard."

[Pat]

I'm with you John. What's a day's turning without a refreshment whilst cleaning up?

[Ozkaban]

Is the goal of the cruise to go around collecting logs from different countries :D:rolleyes:


"There are no shops onboard (exept a BIG woodworking supply shop!) and since the owner of the ship is a school with a strict alcohol issue, there will be no bar onboard."
No. You've got to make one by the end of the cruise. Next year you'll have to make posts for the beds. They're expecting the ship to be fully fitted out within another 6-8 cruises or so, depending on the talent of the cruisers :cool:

I went up and back down the Norwegian coast on one of the Hurtigruten ships in February 2001. Would leave again in a heartbeat to do it again, absolutely one of the most magnificent trips in the world.
And to be able to combine it with woodworking, just can't gat any better than that.

As an old salt I have done quite a bit of travel around the coast and fjords. It is (as has been said) one of the most scenic parts of the world. Summer or winter.
The drink rules are strict or were in the rural parts of Norway but being practical people they manage some ways around this. As we had duty free on board we helped out in this department. It has always been an expensive place to travel so be prepared. I would like to go but for that money I could get a real beast of a lathe. I don't suppose they would throw in free passage for a demonstrator of my limited scope. I would sweep up and keep the tools sharp too.
