Gallery Saturday 5th July: Getting tuned up!

 

Friday:  hauling Mentaquilibrium out of the water, dismasting her and preparing for the long journey on the road to Kiel.

            We paid special attention to fixing the boat on the trailer and the safe storage of rudder, tiller, boom…

            Lots of preparations preceded this day: maintenance and inspection of the trailer, making supports for the mast.

 

Saturday: Transfer from Wemeldinge to Kiel: 734 km. Speed mean 90km/h. Departure: 11h30, Arrival 20h50.

            Uneventful journey in perfect weather conditions.

            Upon arrival in the Olympic harbor at Schilksee, Kiel, we immediately started sanding and waxing the hull.
            Jack’s crew welcomed us with fresh Dutch beer.

            This promises to become an exciting week.
