For almost a week I was waiting for this day. My first encounter with the Viking.
Before talking about my first encounter, I do want to express my gratitude and appreciation to all the people who have supported so far my endeavor to safe the Viking from the teeth of a chain saw and expressed support for restoring this sleeping to its majestic appearance. I especially want to express gratitude to the current owners under who's care the Viking had served well catching crayfish all around Tasmania and who are passing this heritage boat on to the next generation. Thank you Betty and Adrian

After the visit on board we retreated with a shower front passing through to the Port Huon Trading Post to chat about old adventures, the greatness of life and details of the transfer. On the way back I stopped in at the Wooden Boat Centre in Franklin. The friendliness and open support I am receiving is almost overwhelming and coming back home I can once more only express my absolute gratitude to everyone who has supported me so far on this road.
