Thanks to Mr Jan Brügge, pilot at Brofjorden for photo.
arrived around lunch time to Scanraff in Brofjorden
after spending the night on Bohus Malmön in my friends summer house. I had not been on Tärnsund since 1990 when I was there as a AB. She was still in a very good shape. Importance of good maintenance.
After Tärnsund I signed on Halmia
