“I don’t think people could hold there more than five minutes in this water, especially with clothes on,” he added. It was very good luck this floating sauna was nearby.”
The sauna boat happened to drift by soon after the Tesla ended up in the water, Oslo police said.
Photos show people on the vessel with towels around their waists pulling the passengers out of the water.
“One of the guests came running and told me a car had landed in the water. I accelerated to full speed in the direction of the people,” the sauna boat’s skipper, Nicholay Nordahl, told Norwegian newspaper VG.
“With the help of two guests, we pulled them up. They were able to warm up in the sauna,” he added.
To anyone wondering. Sauna boats are not common in Norway. It’s not “a thing”. Please don’t add it to the list of Scandinavian stereotypes 🙏
Your friendly neighbour Finland here! We love them sauna boats! They are very much a thing here!
I would move to Finland in a heartbeat if you weren’t all psychotic.
Also is a “friendly” Finn someone who makes eye contact as you pass them?
Psychotic? Are you sure it’s not the Swedes you are talking about? An understandle mistake, I know I couldn’t make difference between Swedes and Norwegians!
Eye contact? Thst too sounds like swedish shenanigans to me! A friendly Finn is one who moves far enough to the side when you pass, you know, to give space. Space is the second thing we love the most right after sauna boats! You know, the personal kind!
So you’re telling me people don’t drive their sauna boats to their job site in the forest where they rake the forest floor?
Probably are in Finland, though.
I know they’re not actually part of Scandinavia (rather Fenno-Scandinavia), but MAN do they love saunas! They even have a sauna in a Burger King and take sauna tents with them when they go camping!
Too late, henceforth all Norwegians are stamped as people eating lutefisk while steaming in their sauna boat, in a sea of Tesla’s.
