Reblogged from Minnesota Prairie Roots:
I REMEMBER BEING ONE of the skeptics.
Build a ship in the middle of nowhere, haul it to Lake Superior in Duluth and then eventually sail across the Atlantic Ocean to Norway.
Who thinks that is possible?
Robert Asp.
Thirty years ago the Hjemkomst, a ship built by this Moorhead, Minnesota, junior high school counselor, with the help of family and friends, accomplished that 4,700-mile feat, proving the skeptics wrong.
Here it is - a taste of Audrey's blogging!




















Wonderful post to reblog!!!!
It’s the one that jumped to mind when I first thought about this idea. Such a great story.
Amazing. I can’t imagine sailing all that way in such a small boat. It doesn’t look like it would be a comfortable journey, either xx
I agree! Better him than me! I can barely swim so I’d be a gonner for sure.
