9. July: We train throwing the hawser and move 1.5 tons of stone in Gilleleje

Published: 09/07-2019

Late last night we arrived at the beautiful harbor in Gilleleje. Besides good ice-cream, the crew enyous the buzzing activity.

Efter ankomsten har vi dog konstateret, at Havhingsten har taget en del vand ind. Vi har pumpet skibet tørt, og problemet er lokaliseret. Vores udsejling er derfor udsat et par timer. Vi skal nemlig liiige fjerne 1,5 ton ballaststen først. Imens træner resten af besætningen trossekast - det er vigtigt, og det kræver både teknisk snilde og råstyrke.

 

After arrival, however, we have found that the Sea Stallion has taken in some water. We have pumped the ship dry and the problem is located. Our departure is therefore postponed for a couple of hours. We must remove the 1.5 ton ballast stone first. Meanwhile, the rest of the crew trains hawser-throwing - this is important, and it requires both technical skill and raw strength.
