zodiac rescue

21 July 2024

Maaike, Susanne and Chivani are going on a trip to Ossian Sars. Maaike wants to sample two lakes before they have dried up and Chivani can do something else for a day than caring for the goslings. Ossian Sars is one of the most beautiful places in the fjord. The weather is calm and Maaike is trained with boating.
They call over the radio just before dinner. The zodiac has a deflated front. Maarten will go to the rescue with an aluminium boat of AWIPEV.

The boat was waiting for the girls in calm waters with two anchorlines. The front is deflated.

All people in the aluminium boat and we are towing the zodiac.

Maaike steers the boat while Maarten keeps an eye on progress.

The next day, Thomas, the AWIPEV logistic engineer and a professional sailor, has brought the boat on land. This boat was bought in 2006, used by Jouke Prop and is full with memories. We hope it can be repaired. Thomas is moderate positive about this.

But to our surprise, also the propeller misses a blade. No one has a clue when this has happened.
