Work has started on Badger

Breakfast at the Slott was good with meusli and sour milk ( fil) - we do miss it at home. We spent much of the time getting kit from the car into Badger. Since Badger's deck is about 3 metres above he ground this requires climbing and hauling on ropes. Once the kit is on board it has to be stowed by Kristin who is feeling pretty grotty and has got Bronchitis. We went to the "Vard Centrale" and Kristin got to see a doctor and was prescribed antibiotics. We almost missed our lunch at the Pud School but managed to get some salad and greetings from old friends among the staff on the lines of "It must be summer". In fact is was raining but warm and muggy. We were also greetecd by the yard crew of Jet and Totta.
Ive adjsted the pitch on the propellor, removed the old life raft cradle and started installing the new one and also fitted the new Rocna anchor. We quit around 5.30 pm. and found our way to Kohiro for suchi. IT was even better than we remembered it and we were thoroughly welcomed by the owner and his wife and given free coffee and a sweet.
We are now back in the slott and resting ready for more work tomorrow. The launch is to be at 7.00 on Friday so we have just 3 days work left - its a bit daunting.
