My beloved Oslo - boat fair

This weekend it's the annual boat fair in Oslo. It's called "The sea for all". That is of course a statement with modifications, but dreaming is for free 
:-)

Extra: The Royal yacht "M/S Norway" is back home in Oslo.  The yacht is the British Philante, built in 1937 for British aircraft manufacturer Thomas Sopwith, and used during the WW II by the navy. 
After the war The Norwegian people collected money to give it as a gift to the King´s 75th birthday, and managed to buy it it 1947. It had to be restored, rebuilt and refurbished and in 1948 it was finished.  As you know,  Norway has a very long coast, and the Royal family use it visits our counties along the coastline.
