After a long and deep wintersleep she was woken up with a full body wax of her deep red chest.
A deep dark bodypaint on her hull and a high pressered cleansing of her white inner.
And then she was ready ...
In good old tradition she was rolled out on wooden logs and with some gentle pushing she made it to the open sea ...
A little stubborn at first with her engine, but then very happy at last to be in the water again, "snurre" was taken on her first spring tip to Vaxholm for a surely rewarded ice-cream on the docks for the boat crew.
On her way back to her docking place, she took a little walk around Skarpö, and even had a little race with this other red boat in order to reach Oxpjudet.
It was a close race, but Amorella ( www.vikingline.fi/onboard/amorella ) was a little faster and made it first to Pukholmen.
Having "snurre" wet again, is surely a good feeling.
Spring has truely started.
