Nice truning of Irma victom..

Rock Spenser's catamaran was still upside down near Casino (south end Lagoon on land).. He worked out this technique himself, with a model, and really had to find a salvation company who would do it I heard..
Big suc6, and even his mast was still in 1 peace under his boat, he is now on a pontoon, and will put on anti fouling before going in the water..

Rock is back in the water now *2Feb...
 Has a lot of work to do, but could have been much worse..

 

Condor went in for some work..

Found out my Bowman Cooler is adjusted for use in very cold water 

 Getting out 'brandplaatjes' which are under injectors proved problematic..  Jef used screwdriver,  part broke off and head had to be taken off,  which mad it possible to use amchine to get the hard to remove plates out by machine..

 But then a diesel/compression leak around the removable  'voorkamer' in which injectors are fitted..

 Special tools needed to get it out, thanks Hans, Frans and Margite for quick action to fly it in from Ermelo/Naarden

Working on installing different anchor winch..  far from easy

 Jim and Janneke with new boat

Chimichurri was moved by Irma with mooring from  French side to Dutch side of bridge without to much visible damage

 

 

 But when I went in water to clean hull there was a peace of wood sticking in front of rudder which split the rudder open..

 And Langoustines of nice size were living in the split rudder ..  this one departed when I cleaned the bottom..

It is only marked on surface with w2 small yellow balls, so next accident is waiting to happen, some one will hit it ..
