    Lots of things are happening right now. Mostly machinery installations. But since most of the inside of the boat looks like a complete mess you will only get a picture of the outside: The bow thruster has been install (the real, not the human version). So has the main engine, the windlass and some of…

    Sooo…. Starting from today the blog will be in English. There are enough non-Swedish speaking people following us now to warrant the change. I hope you enjoy it!

    Dom tunga höstmolnen och det ständiga duggregnet över Saaremaa har varit precis lika ihärdigt som dom sista plåtarna som ska på plats i fören har varit motsträviga.
