Me and a good friend of mine are now proud boatowners. We have browsed alittle bit on a few boats for a few days and I expressed my interest of chipping in with part ownership so we could afford a boat in better condition. So we looked at an Örnvik 570 (5.7 meter plastic boat with an outboard motor and cabin for 2) this afternoon and after a testdrive we decided that it was a very good deal so we took it, the hull and engine is in very good condition, it will only need a few cosmetic fixes on the inside, like new seats and some polishing.
We’ll need to get some equipment and gadgets for us and the boat on Friday, but it’s ready to go already this weekend so we will go for a drive soon and start the work on it so it’s ready for the longer weekend trips this summer =). I will post some pictures of it soon.
Applied for a new passport today from the police. You need those new passports with your picture (and in the future also your fingerprint) stored on a computer chip in it if you want to go to USA I’m told, so I needed an update to be sure. The new passport will come in about 5 days. Another step towards New York City.
Watched the movie “Cloverfield” today, it was pretty good. It’s filmed as an amateur video (Blair Witch Project meets Godzilla) which I suppose is to make the movie seem more realistic, not sure if that is working for me though. It starts out really slow, but soon enough the action strikes down hard.
