Cantare in the sunshine

She is out in the sun, it feels so much better to have her outside. Now we are not that far away from launching. Today we had breakfast in Cantare together with Johan Petterson from P4 Kristianstad. If you missed it you can find it on their homepage, or click on this links to listen again; first part, second part, last part.

Electrical installations ready...soon

Almost all cables are connected now. The inside of the yacht is fine, just some gas monitoring cables left and night light in the bathroom. All cables running between the engine and the panel in the cockpit are also attached, although it might look like a mess to you it's a great improvement, and I've done it all by myself. Hopefully I will remember how the cables goes, if not I'm going to mark them with numbers and make a list. What's left is the cockpit instruments cables, maybe I will finish them tomorrow. Changing all cables in the yacht and some of the panels has taken much more time than expected, I'm glad to see the end of it! / The Captain

Bachelor Thesis almost finished...

"The Interaction between Health Promotion Providers and their Users - A Study of Nine Swedish Companies" that is the title of the thesis I have been working on for 10 weeks with my dear thesis partner Elin. Deadline was last Friday, at 00.00, we managed to finish at 11.51 pm, just in time=) All right, I admit, it was little stressful the last couple of hours, hence proofreading is a little more time consuming than expected. Me and Elin had planned on finish up at around 7 pm so w could open the champagne and celebrate. The celebration was postponed until midnight, however, the champagne and the belonging shrimps tasted even more wonderfully my then! Nevertheless, it's ain't over yet...



Today we had our opposition and presentation. Another thesis opposed on our thesis and then we had to do one major opposition and two minor. Everything went great! We did not get that much harsh criticism. Anyhow, we still have to make some minor corrections, it hopefully wont take that much time. Now it's only about waiting for our PhD to grade, and then, hopefully, we will have a Bachelor of Science Degree...
Now I can really focus on the up coming adventure! Today it is 37 days left until take off!
At the moment I am packing, leaving for Skåne tonight. My Sis will graduate from Highschool tomorrow and then it's mostly bank job and boat job on the schedule.
Over and Out

Waterproof camera

My new camera has arrived. I got some money in birthday present and this is what became of it. It's a Olympus Though-8000, waterproof to 10 meters, crushproof to 100 kg and shockproof to 2 meters. I had to try it and since we don't have a tub I did it in a vase. It worked fine, but I'm longing for the possibility to try it while snorkeling. Sofia has yet to decide what kind of camera to buy, she is thinking of a camera that works as a camcorder as well. Then we could make a small movie of our adventure, wouldn't that be fun? / Captain Ingerup
