Kapteinen har seilt inn i sin siste havn
Det er med stor sorg vi må meddele at vår kjære ektefelle, far, bestefar og skipper, Terje, seilte inn i den siste havnen i går, lørdag 31. oktober 2026.
Far elsket havet, vinden og reisene om bord på Aurora Polaris. Han var en trygg kaptein som navigerte både med sjøkart og med en sterk, personlig gudstro som sitt faste anker og kompass i livet. Uansett hvor stormfullt det kunne blåse, visste han alltid hvilken kurs han styrte etter.
Nå har han satt kursen mot en evig og fredelig havn, og mønstret av her hos oss for aller siste gang. Vi vet at han nå har funnet fullkommen hvile hos sin Skaper og Frelser, Jesus Kristus.
Vi vil takke dere alle sammen som har fulgt reisene hans, heiet på ham og delt gleden over seilasene. Det betydde utrolig mye for ham.
Mer informasjon om bisettelsen kommer senere.
Hvil i fred, kaptein. Takk for alt du lærte oss om å holde stø kurs.
The Captain Has Reached His Final Harbour
It is with deep sorrow that we share that our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and skipper, Terje, sailed into his final harbour yesterday, Saturday, October 31st, 2026.
Dad loved the sea, the wind, and every journey aboard Aurora Polaris. He was a steady captain who navigated not only by nautical charts, but with a deep, personal Christian faith as his true anchor and compass. No matter how rough the seas or how strong the winds, he always held his course.
Now, his voyage has brought him safely into an eternal, peaceful haven, where he has completed his watch and found lasting rest with his Creator and saviour, Jesus Christ.
We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who followed his voyages, cheered him on, and shared his passion for sailing. It truly meant the world to him.
More information regarding the funeral service will be shared at a later date.
Fair winds and following seas, Captain. Thank you for showing us how to keep a steady course.
