The Tall Ships’ Races fleet cruise in company to Bergen
The Tall Ships’ Races fleet are currently enjoying a relaxing cruise in company from Maløy to Bergen in Norway. The fleet have had the opportunity to exchange crews on an informal basis if they wanted, which gives some of the cadets on ships such as Mir (Russia), Dar Mlodziezy (Poland) and Shabab Oman (Oman) to experience life on board one of the smaller vessels in the fleet.
The journey between Maløy and Bergen is a beautiful area with many small fjords and inlets to explore. A number of the vessels will be sailing together in order to raft up and enjoy informal BBQs in the long summer evenings.
Cuauhtemoc from Mexico chose to stop at the small town of Sandane for its first night. (Photo) where they moored up in the fjord before going ashore to explore the area. Other ports being visited over the coming days are: Nordfjordeid, Stryn, Olden, Kalvag, Florø, Naustdal, Askvoll, Bygstad, Balestrand, Skjolden, Flam/Gudvangen, Strusshamn and Fedje.
The fleet are due to arrive in Bergen on Saturday 9 August for the four days of festivities before the second race to Den Helder, Netherlands, which starts on 12 August.
