[BomberMann650]

Is the wife happy now?

[CBGhia]

It matches my KLR! Good looking boat!  You might want to add some hot pink decals.

[grcamna2]

That looks to be a 'sea-worthy' craft strynboen.

[strynboen]

the boy named it grøn ært.".green bean"..or somthing like that..its vas some flux radioaktive paint i had..make it easy to find the boat in the harbuer..full of vhite boats

[martin99]

That's going to bring you much pleasure and enjoyment Lars, I love messing about on the water and don't do it half as much as I should (probably because I don't own a boat ). What's the plan? Spot of fishing?

[simon#42]

nice , i  would like something similar one day

[grcamna2]

What is the wooden mast on the front used for ?

[Stev-o]

Nice!  2.5 ton twenty foot boat?!  Wow, that hull must be thick!

Do you know the English definition of boat?

Answer:  Hole in the water where you throw your money!

[trust me I know, I have a 26 footer...]

[strynboen]

yes i feel the Money go,, as fast as the boat are slow.. ...just the crane to service..and haubore place cost as a sohc Honda.(.the boat is the less expensive)..
the wooden for mast is only for small flags and front navigasion  light..and hard vork to hold it nice looking

[Terry in Australia]

Nice boat Lars, I personally hate boats, but if I had to have one, one like yours would be good, so I could ram it into lots of other boats and sink them. Cheers, Terry.

[demon78]

Nice !! I haven't seen something like that since I was last on the west coast (Vancouver Island) the Great Lakes boats are not the same as deep water boats. I'd forgotten, now of course I can smell the salt in my mind, sigh.

[333]

That's not so hard to do. My fist could go through a Bayliner.

It's to make you wait for low bridges to raise! And piss all the drivers off that have to wait for you! At least around here that's the way it is.

Nice floaty toy Stryn! I just sold my boat and will be off the water for a while until we sell our house.

[demon78]

No Terry I was raised a 15 minute walk from the "salt chuck" and stationed later at RCAF stn Comox, off the main runway was the Pacific and we used to take a 12 down to the beach and sleep there after "midnights" it being 24 hour squadron.

You live on the small Island?  Looks close to Germany??

[strynboen]

yes very close...my father told they klerly see and hear the bombing of kiel..in ww2..and the b 17 vas Falling from the sky on day and britisk at night..on ther vay home..bad for them,,for the germens had a big air base just 40 km inland at odense(Beldringe) hvere the nightfighters vas stasonared..so the Danish rute home vas a dead end..ve used to have a tax free ferry to kiel..but that closed for 15 years ago..

in the 70 and 80..ve had a lot of estern germens sailers in the sauth Danish vaters..they did not tru to escape from there(it vas the ritch one).vho maked holydays in denmark..and did some spionage ..too..

ve did see Eastern and West television from denmark..funny to see the different in the news..prioerty vas not at the same things

Ha ha, yeah, shooting whales will make you more popular for sure Lars, but why not turn up a nice brass canon and mount it on your boat mate, just tell the authorities it's protection from Somali pirates, those fcukers are sneaky as.

Speaking about WW2, I watched a couple of youtube video's of these people with metal detectors digging up old Russian battlefields and the amount of human remains, (mostly German) guns and ammo they're digging up is insane! They're not just treasure hunters, they try to repatriate the bodies back to the families in Germany, or give them a decent burial if they can't identify them, (many were never buried, they were found on top of the ground, or leaning against trees etc) and several of them have been killed or badly injured when grenades attached to the corpses have gone off when disturbed by the team members. Quite amazing.

I think the correct quote is "Break Out Another Thousand", but we understand.

Worth every penny.  Just like vintage motorcycles.

Totally agree.  I've always had a boat, sold all my bikes at one point, missed them and bought many more! One boat is enough though.

[Duanob]

The two happiest days in a boater's life: The day he buys one and the day he sells it.

The best boat to have? One that your friends own.

[strynboen]

love to have my ovn boat..and fix my ovn broken parts..loan a boat..and repareir it after..........even it vas broke before you got there...and fuel is alvays low on a loan boat..

my son(11 years) made this clip...not soo good ..but you got a idea ..ve make a better film later in the summer..but have got some good rides already

and yes..ve vas on the vrong side of the green markings..but there is more peacefull autside of the ferry rute

the boat is 51 years old. and have sat in a garden for some years...so have not made all the kosmetic stuff..only the hardvare is perfekt..paint must vait to NeXT vinter..like to get nev glass in the vindovs..and a gps plotter.yes Money are rooling autboart..no kontrool...

 got a Garmin 152 for free..but it are a beast to kode kordinalls inn..and no maps..but i got the rute home..and speed indikator

[vfourfreak]

It's like in the movie Das Boot when all is going well and Johann the engineer is checking the diesels. All purring away nicely.

Kev

[strynboen]

yes like johan. and vhen he opens to the kompresion champers..and the blue flame stands aut of the valve....but the machine marster vas cool too..nice diesel engines..in a time most still drove steam engines..the Danish ship SELENDIA vas one of the first diesel cargo ships in the vorld..some germen marine ships vas erlyer ude bronce cast engines..

[demon78]

Nice reminds me of Vancouver Harbour in places how fast about 8 knots ?.
Bill the demon.

[strynboen]

no aktuly it goes 12 knob..very fast for a 20" boat.
.it rated for a 12 hk engine..but it have a 22 hk diesel-2 cylender Volvo penta..vho can run up to 3000 rpm..but ve only run it 1500-2000..the last rpm gives no ekstra speed..but gives a hell of noise..just like a f 105.your ears falls off..luckly its not make Black stripes in the blue sky

[Stev-o]

Disagree, I always had my own boat so I can come and go as I please...

[Terry in Australia]

My Ma loves boats. My grandfather built his own boats, and when she was a little girl in the 1930's, they had a houseboat that he'd built, that they'd holiday on. My Dad, on the other hand, hated boats, and could get sea-sick on a wet lawn. When I was a kid, my grandfather built my Ma a little Bondwood boat so we could all go boating on the river.

There was no love lost between my Dad and grandfather, but they both loved my Ma, so Dad dutifully bought a new Chrysler 7 HP outboard motor from the local boat shop, and we went boating. Dad put the boat in the water, we all piled in, and he ran the boat about a mile up the river, turned it around, ran it back to the trailer, and and took us all home again. The boat sat in the driveway and eventually rotted there, and went to the dump.

The little Chrysler outboard is still sitting in a corner of the garden shed, around 50 years old with maybe an hour of run time in fresh water? It's just a pity my Ma didn't like Honda CB750's............      

[strynboen]

ha.. ;)yes not all like moving vater...
got the vife aut and sail today.
..she had svorn ,she never set a food on a boat ..vhel i am, at the stering..and on komando???

[Don R]

 I enjoyed hearing the boat story, also the WW2 and television news story. It's always a learning experience when you hear  from someone in a different part of the world. 

[Terry in Australia]

Beautiful pics Nils, and it's just amazing how much Nazi infrastructure has survived until today. I was looking at some shows on youtube recently, people are still finding underground bunker systems intact, 70+ years after the war, the amount of construction that took place in such a short space of time is absolutely incredible. Of course, one hell of a lot of infrastructure was knocked down over the same period, they were still rebuilding Germany when I was there in the early 1970's.  

[strynboen]

they still builds up..after the russian loan of the Eastern part of germany..it vill take forever to klean up the dirt the russian leaked aut..in the air bases..and atomic/organic/ petrol/oil vaste they left behind..

and the Money it kosted to bay the Eastern germany back from russia..it vas a preis ve never get to hear..think they still pay.so the russina pansioned military personal dont go to iran or egypt to make Money for ther  older days..
so yes ww2 is not ending for germany..they still pay....but that is off topic..
