New rescue boat to be baptized

The baptism of a new rescue boat (Class of Petter C.G. Sundt) will take place on 30 April 2010, I have been told. The Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue (NSSR) has invited Erling Sven Lorentzen (husband of Princess Ragnhild Mrs. Lorentzen) as well as the war hero Gunnar Sønsteby to the ceremony. I don't know at present whether they have accepted the invitation or not, but I hope to get back to this later. I have been told, however, that Lorentzen is expected to be in Norway at the time the baptism takes place.
