Yesterday on our way back to port a friend of my was shooting a short clip on his Iphone from a Viking he was riding, sorry for the vertical screen :oops: try to crop it but that again gave a blurry pic :( Just switch to full screen for easier watching.
Trimmed the motor a little up to keep it dry inside :wink:

It's all in the throttle and trim, if I pushed her harder ( which I could, about 1/4 left on the throttle) or slowed her down ( not trolling speed of course) she starts banging en getting uncomfortable, but as you probably know this goes for most if not all boats.
At this speed in this sea condition she was pretty comfortable 8) , you probably cant see it but Rambo my dog was "a sleep" on the seat behind my butt :D

Went out today, didn't catch Sh..t :( went to klein (little) Curaçao nothing, went around east point again nothing, did a little stopover at klein Curaçao, went swimming and snorkeling also some stainless cleaning at the chine fenders, also checked boat underwater, all seems to look in good condition.

Tried to film Bateau's seaworthiness, since I was alone it was a little difficult driving and filming, although it doesn't show in the movie, waves where much rougher as it looks, I would guess between 2 and 3 meters, it was fun though, free Universal roller coaster, well more or less :lol: (maybe in the end it shows a little better?)
