Can someone translate this autograph book entry?

I found an autograph book dated 1883-1887 belonging to my great grandfather Bernt O. Bonn of Montevideo, Minnesota. Apparently, he took a trip to his hometown in Eidsvoll, Norway in May 1887 because there are several entries in Norwegian by friends (or relatives perhaps).

 

Here's one. Thank you!

    This is my crack at it @Liv Anderson2​  Do you see something that I'm not seeing?

     

    Dear B. Bohn

    Thank you for your presence

    Thank you for all the cozy (or pleasant) evenings.

    Good health and luck on your

    continued journey through Blomgren? (I'm not sure I got that last word right)

    Dear B. Böhn

    Thank you for your presence

    Thank you for all the nice (pleasant) evenings.

    Held og lykke actually means: Good luck on your continued journey through Blaavegen?

    (possibly the ocean)

    Eidsvold 17 May 87
