...a nervous Dublin?


The Hibernians seem to have forgotten how the Danes acted the last time they landed and said "we're just on a voyage of discovery..."

Church bells rang out and a flotilla of sailing boats greeted the ship's entry into Dublin's port on Tuesday.

And another reason those Vikings kept coming back: Sorensen said he was already counting down the days to setting sail again. "It is like a narcotic -- you can't live without it," he said.

I'd be more impressed if they had sailed with stomachs fed on "classic" Viking fare

Yes, now that would have been impressive. I wonder if Sornsen finds the Viking fare akin to being a narcotic as well. I also wonder if the ship would have made it to Dublin any quicker if the mess was stocked with Viking fare -- get there quick, and less lutefisk has to slither down the gullets.

...I'd also be interested in video to see how this craft handled in the rough north seas.
