The crew:
Sturla Hagen has been a part time crew member since 1999. As a young man he worked on different passenger ferries, and has allways been very attached to the sea. When he's not sailing with the Goxsheim, he's working as the technical director at Bodø Kulturhus. Sturla is licenced to sail the Goxsheim.
Knut Skoglund has been working as a part time crew member for the last 3 years. As a helmsman he's outstanding! Some years ago Knut wore his welligtons on the deck of "Vika", a 36 feet traditional Norwegian fishing boat. When not on the Goxsheim, he's working with film making.
Erling Steindal is our 3rd part time crew member. He has been so for the last 4 years. It seems as if Erling is more fond of the sky and the sea than of land since he has his regular work as a captain in the Norwgian airline Widerøe. He is also licenced to sail the Goxsheim.

is, apart from being the Latin name of the Northern Lights, a small company doing sailing ship cruises in Northern Norway with the 74 feet gaff rigged cutter S/Y Goxsheim. The company was established in 1999 at the same time as the rebuilding of S/Y Goxsheim started. The first trips were made during the spring 2002 after the return from Arkhangelsk where the rigging was done. Since then we've tried to do our very best to make interesting and adventurous trips in Northern Norway, this in cooperation with agents abroad that have the same approach to this as us: No mass tourism, a touch of idealism, a lot of adventures and an experience for a lifetime. We do hope that we manage to live up to this. Aurora Borealis is the only company in Norway doing trips with a sailing ship from late February till early December.

The crew:
Charles Wara is the skipper on and the owner of s/y Goxsheim. He has spent the last 7 years devoted to the rebuilding and skippering of the ship. As a real Northern Norway patriot, this part of the country is his back yard, and he knows where to take you for the real experience.
Natalia K. Wara is the Aurora Borealis' business manager and the Goxsheim's guarantee for an outstanding service for our guests. With her skilla as an organizer and her eye on details, the ship will allways be a comfortable stay for our guests. Natalia is also studing accounting at the Bodø University College, and before she joined in with Charles and the Aurora Borealis, she was the head of the economic departement at Solombola Shipyard in Arkhangelsk, Russia.
