We picked up the boat last evening close to Oslo, and of course the freight crew managed to damage the front wheel of the trailer. Needed help from a forklift and had to cut it off (it was at a 30 degree angle). Towing-car a bit underpowered (speed of about 20 mph at *long* hill back home), but the boat arrived safely about 40 minutes after.

Today, we put in the new air bottles, propped up (the long ones of course), and launched her at about 15:30. Little did we know that the wind had been blowing quite hard all day when we launched the boat. Out on the sea we had about 3-4 feet of short, irregular windblown waves. Did a few runs to test the boat, and came back with big smiles on our faces. Some really good high-speed jumps, but a lot of new movements to get used to! Actually more lively than we expected of such a big boat! Everything run smoothly.

Hey Morten, thanks for putting us in your loop, we will enjoy hearing how the new crew are leaning the boat. You got a good one....

Glad to know all went well, except the trailer of course. Give me a call when you get time so we can discuss the details of your test run!
