Some years back, PH and Bandalowski were to have taken part in a race in Norway. the race was cancelled due to poor weather, so the two of them decided to drive along the coast to gather clams which the Japanese chef (so it must be at least 15 years ago) aboard Dannebrog could prepare.
"We drive along and then come to an old Norwegian church made from staves, the wooden ones. He wanted to go inside to have a look, so we jump out of the car and look around.
Inside we meet a sweet elderly lady and the Prince says to her that: It sure looks very exciting here, and the two of them begin chatting.
The Prince tells the elderly woman that he's up here racing in a sailing competition, to which she replies that she believe she has heard that the Danish Prince is taking part.
Then he says, Yeah, something like that I reckon.
Later on he asks her: The prince, he's a nice guy, isn't he? And she believe he is.
When she walks out the church, she suddenly turns around in the door, and then it's like the penny drops! That one had us laughing a lot afterwards".
