You can owe me a couple of Aquavits (yup pick the flavor) next time I'm in your area. My cousin lives in Morrum, Sweden ...

Sweedish Aquavit....? Noooo.....I prefere the Norwegian "Linie Aquavit", which have been stored in oak barrels, onboard one of the wessels in Wilhelmsen fleet, on a journey around the globe, crossing the equator Line. Therefor the name Linje (Line). It have a richer flavour, it´s tastier, and also moore expencive..... As a "number two" I prefer the Danish Brondum Snaps. It is marvelous! That´s the one I use aboard "Jolla´ Mi", even when it´s staying on dry land.....

You pick - I'm no expert on Aquavit ...

OkiDoki! Just tell me where and when you are on this side of the pond.... Maybe you will take a look at "Jolla´Mi" at the same moment. Maybe I have a couple of cold beers in the fridge as well!

"Take a look"? By the time I make it over, you'll have it finished, and we'll take her for a cruise in the Fjord!

Ditto here - if you make it over, I'll find you a fine American Rye and maybe a cold one or two in the fridge.

Fished yesterday offshore (60 miles out) on a very nice 36 Contender Express. Boat rides like a dream ... slicing through the water at an average of 35knots. Dry and fast! Hummmmmm

Thanks Ross! I guess you will be surprised by the fjord here. It´s not as big as Lake Michigan, but bigger than my toiletbowl..... And there is a lot of fish in it. (not the bowl... ) And yes! You can eat that fish as well. I guess I will be done with my boat in good time before August. I hope.... But if you are to come over next year, you could bring me another boat. A bigger one, maybe something in between 42 and 50 feets.

There is a possibility for me coming over to Florida in late September. I have to make a trip for collecting some money (a guy in Ft. Lauterdale ows me a lump of money, $32.000), and it seems the best way to get the money is to go for myself. And this guy is a norwegian. A bandit....

I saw yesterday on Craigslist there is a guy who´s selling his 10 Meter Express. Only $3000,-. There must be som usable parts for me in that boat? If I buy the boat, maybe some of you there can go and collect the parts for med, and then keep the rest of the boat themselve....?

That Craigslist boat might be the ticket for your windshield problem, as well as some other items that might prove useful

Agreed. I also saw another 10 meter (I think midcabin) for sael on Yachtworld for $5K. It was a project boat but looked to have salvage parts.

I'll see if I can find it again.

Found it

Windshield may be a little different as it is a '91

I'd bet $1,000 would buy her...

RWS

$1000...??? That´s cheap. But IF I do that, I still need someone to go there, strip the boat for things I want to have, put the things on pallets, and send it to Norway. What do I do with the rest of the boat? Is someone willing to take over the "wreck"? How much will this operation cost? Maybe one of you guys can do it, and get the 10 Meter Trojan as a reward.....

wants to buy it. Would love to go through it for some odds/ends...

Me first........!

The only things I need from that boat is ancor and windlass, the two curved corner windows, and both props (if they are undamaged). And, it depends on price of the freight, I want both seatings. Anyone here who knows Santa?

pk.

I know santa, the problem is I've been on his naughty list for the last 20 years.
