In the water
Posted on June 25th, 2007 No commentsSo here it is. She is floating really high at the bow because we haven’t stepped the mast yet and we also have a big empty stowage compartement at the bows.
The bleeding of the diesel took a couple of hours, as allways. I opened the wrong bolt and let some air in at the wrong place. So even though we bleeded it later at the right place and at the injectors it was blocked before the pump. Anyway. Now it runs great.

Beautiful!

Thank you! I have some oak for the mast top hardware. When that is on, I’ll rig her.

Smöla looks like an interesting spot. I had to google it but I have never been that far north in Norway. We turned left after Bergen for Shetland. But since sailing in Norway only gets better and better from Oslo and up to Bergen, I have this idea it only continues to improve after that. Am I right?
