Eva and Paul Christian had just moved from East Mainmast Court to a beautiful new home on Windjammer Lane when they got ready to leave on a three-week trip to Denmark and Norway. They were celebrating the 40th anniversary of friendship with their friend Rikke. Eva and Paul had hosted Rikke, then 17 years old, as their first foreign exchange student 40 years ago. They have stayed in close contact with Rikke all these years. Except for the years of COVID, they have visited each other every year. As a matter of fact, Rikke’s family has been visiting The Landings since the 1980s.
Eva and Paul started their journey at Rikke’s home in Hundested (which translates to Dog Place in English), a lovely suburb of Copenhagen. There they visited with Rikke, her husband Bent, their daughter Karla, and their son Lukas. Karla’s boyfriend Oscar joined them on their trip to Oslo, Norway and surrounding areas. Besides other sightseeing trips they all went on a five-hour, five-mile hike up to famous Pulpit Rock in Stavanger. It towers 604 meters above the Lysefjord, and it is Norway’s most famous hike, one of three major Lysefjord hikes. Eva said that it was a climb rather than a hike, but the worst were all the people on a very narrow path going up and down this mountain. It was downright dangerous. When they all arrived at the top, the view was breathtaking and well worth the effort. We are glad to have Eva and Paul back safely here in Windjammer Village now.
First Sunday-Funday of the Season
Mark your calendars for Sunday, October 19, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. Join your neighbors and friends at Picnic Pointe for the Windjammer Octoberfest. Invitations with details will be emailed to all residents and posted on the bulletin boards one week prior to the event.
We hope to see you all there.
Decorative Lighting installed
Now that the Taffrail garages are finished, decorative fixtures have been mounted in the front of the building to light the surroundings so residents can safely enter and exit their garages. Spotlights have also been installed above the trash receptacles and on the left side above the parking area.
Once all owners have returned from their travels, the Board plans a casual gathering to celebrate the completion of the building and to thank the residents for their patience during the rebuilding process.
