We met the most amazing people last night, Kurt and Ann-Britt from Uddevalla and Svenne from Ludvika and Arvidsjuar.
They had taken a boat Nauticat 38 from Greece to Port Napoleon. They are taking the boat back to Sweden for a customer, via the canals. I feel like a real wimp listening to these +70 and + 80 year old youngsters and their trip from Greece to France with only two or three stops and I am trying to convince Carl not to take a 1,5 hour trip in a sheltered bay to Port st Louis because of the wind.
Turns out the only lock by which we can enter the Rhone is under repair and will not be open untill 8 April! We certainly did start off too early. So we find something to do for the week and get used to living on the boat again.
Lellebelle will be launched today.
Here we go.
It's about 300 m to the launching place.
At the launching place.
At 09:00 the truck with haul wagon came to fetch LB. Same procedure as
Last year but in reverse.
On its way into the water. Leslie in horror.
Everything went well. LB stayed afloat and the motor started at first try.
Things can't be better. Mooring went well and Leslie hopped ashore and tied up like it was yesterday.
