Day 9: August 12th: The day of the galley rat and the second port.

Woke up for breakfast.  briefing at 09:00hrs. Told we'll be in 
Fredrickhavin at about 17:00 hrs, but before that there may be a 
chance to anchor and go for a swim.  
Loads of peolpe are up for that.
The Swimming Team

Happy hour arrives: in the heads again, this time cleaning the 
showers so it's not quite as bad but still not nice at all.  
take over as galley rat at 10:00hrs, just in time for smoko.  
give it out, clean it up finish just in time for a 30min break 
before we start again for lunch.  Then work hard until 14:15 
when we all rest again for a short while.  As second smoko is 
served we stop, and guess what, it's time for a swim.  We launch 
both the rib and the lifeboat, the lifeboat is at anchor so we 
can swim to it.  I'm first in off the stern, but they're letting 
us swing out on one of the yard ropes.  I have a few goes, it's 
tremendous fun.

The Aftermath, none too pleasant!
It Gets Worse

After that we raise anchor and head straight into Fredrickhavn 
as we berth there's an almighty "BOOM" and guess what? We've 
arrived on the night when the town is celebrating a famous sea 
battle, we're told there'll be music beer and guns,  soldiers 
and ships with loads of cannons and musket fire etc...    
Soldiers
More Soldiers

But before anybody gets shore leave the whole of the galley must 
be cleaned to the chefs satisfaction.  We do it extremely 
qucikly and changed and away by 20:00hrs.


We have a good look round but everything's in Danish so we can't
understand anything.  But we do buy a wooden sword which will 
become more important later on in this story.
