Ondine, Eric's launch

A message and some picture sent by Eric:

“Hello,

After some harassing days of work (highly the end of the holidays!), that I rest), my boat, which finally will be called Ondine, is nearly ready for the setting with water. It does not remain any more that to carry out two or three wood ends (support of the bilge pump, protection of the condenser, and to pose two or three bronze ends on the deck (for hang up the defenses). I do not have yet a ship wheel, but one promised one of them to me.

I tried to think of all before the setting with water, but I awake suddenly in the middle of the night in sweat, while trying to imagine what will not go (and the possibilities are legion!)“

Ondine
I find that this female first name suits him to charm!

Which splendid work


Now, Eric, it will be necessary to say some to us more on your engine and your boiler! and especially on its setting with water (with pictures, of course)

Here are pictures of the setting to water on Blog of Eric!
