We're back in the water!
No matter how many times we have Quickstep craned (to date only three times...) We will feel nervous, something distinctly wrong about seeing our boat 10 meters above the ground! The only real comfort we could take was that like when Håvard lifted her, she was in the very capable control of Frode.
It's might be easier to have just gone a walk and left them to it but it all went smoothly and Frode, along with Ariel and the man from the boat next to us (who we have forgotten the name of!sorry) had her afloat within minutes. In fact he had her placed in to the bearth pretty much, saved us roping her over! Thanks Frode!

| Down she goes! |
With that over with we checked the engine for any leaks etc and got her loaded again. The water pump is still to arrive but we decided to head off with outboards to the mooring we had spent Daniels birthday at, next to Svinøya, Elnesvågen.
We left late but with the light nights we could navigate easily in the bright sky arriving just after midnight.
Just now, we are cooking lunch with power from the solar panels, so far a calm day. In the next few days we will head back to Harøysund and finish the water pump job. For now a relaxing time in lovely surroundings.
