Team Esbjerg, accompanied
by the
Wayfarer
Stompers (Poul Ammentorp at left), is called upon the lead the way
in telling the gesture-laden tale of Lass who left Esbjerg in a storm
to
go out for a short sail to the island of Fanø in his old wreck
of
a boat and never returned. The good news being however, that now Lass
waits
in the Danish version of Davey Jones' locker to greet any poor soul who
goes down with his/her ship with a "kaffee punch".
