Shaking down "the boxing kangaroo"

So after sailing in Australia for 2,5 months, it was quite a shock to be back in the cold Northern Hemisphere Winter brrrrr.

But Having a brand new Bladerider in the garage.......it couldn't take long before baptising it.
With my wisdom teath removed on tuesday i had to wait a couple of days to let the pain settle.

With a cheek as fat as a pig i set of today, with my brother Sven as reference i launched my boat. And great it was 10kn of wind 8 degrees. Thank god for my Gill drysuit. (Or actually thank Gill ;)

After fiddeling arround with my rod, my boat became quicker and quicker rolling my brother at times :) It was a great sail....untill i had to go in the freezing water and swim my boat to shore brrrrr. But it was nothing a hot shower couldn't help.


Tommorow we'll sail again in Muiden together with 2 other Bladeriders, so hopefully we can get some races in.

For now Kalle out.
