Keks is in the water
28 Juli 2009Our Keks made it! Finally, it is in the water – after we had overcome quite a few obstacles on our way to the harbour..
On Monday 7/20 the big day had come when we did the transport from the garden where it lied it before to the harbour in Sinzing. Therefore, we organized two experienced men (thanks again, bernd and martin)who came with a tractor and a trailer (which seemed to be a bit small to us) to get us there. We managed to fit through a pretty narrow railway underpass, then to climb a 14% incline.. At the harbour our Keks was craned off the trailer and put on the ground for us and our kind helpers (especially ingo the metal worker and all the others who came) to fix the extension at the end of the raft (an extra barrel on each side). As it was being put into the water it was a thrillingl moment for us – you can’t do anything anymore – it just has to swim! But it did. And it floated even better than we had expected! When we were paddling to our place in the harbour, we were really happy to be here – on the water with nice people, just enjoying the evening sun while sitting on that homemade little raft! Even if it looked a bit scruffy beneath all those polished yachts, we were really proud of our ugly duckling! So we stayed on bord for another few hours and had a little picknick..
