She’s back in the water!
It’s been a very exciting day – at 1 pm Désirée got picked up and was transferred to the crane. Here we got to do the very last paint jobs and then she was ready to be let into the water. Everything went quite fast and very well, so now she has returned to her spot in the harbour. It’s starting to get very real that we will soon be sailing out of Bogense, heading for adventure!
As it has been raining a lot lately and the ground is quite soft, it actually turned out that the boat was a little to heavy to be pulled out by the usual truck, so it had to get assistance from another truck and together they managed to move her out from the spot.
And then she was transferred to the crane and we got to add some anti fouling.
A weird thing actually happened this morning when we arrived, as our electricity cable had been cut at the charging station and at the boat, and the middle piece had been stolen. This had happened for almost all of the boats around us as well – super strange! We’re not sure what the thieves want with all of those pieces of cable, but luckily we can manage without those meters right now.
Oh well, we are just super super happy that Désirée is in the water and that everything so far seems to be waterproof – and now we are preparing for our first night in our new floating home 🙂
Tomorrow work will continue, as well try to get the mast ready.
God vind!
