Amevi is going on her seatrials for 4 days; there might be a few of the crew
who won't feel to good all the time since the weather is rough; rain and fierce wind.

Anyway, here the railbridge at Dordrecht opens to let her through

[tantetruus]

Because of the wind two tugs hold her in position through the bridge.

It was icecold and a bridge like this is not the best place to stay for an hour or so, so, if you see any movement on any picture; thats why

[tantetruus]

Dordrecht looking kinda miserable...
Might be my feeling; took the wrong shoes for the job so my toes were kinda blue

[tantetruus]

On the right the old Church of Dordrecht; bit like the tower in Pisa, a few mtrs off

[tantetruus]

took her about half an hour to get to the bridge and then about ONE minute to rocket through her, much to my disappointment; had hoped to do some more closeups which was absolutely impossible at the speed she raced by

[tantetruus]

strange thing; lots of friendly people on the ship waving to me and quite a lot taking pictures of me?!? (hey, there's that fool with the camera again!)

I work in the building on the back with the white pillars and live right behind it, so, ideal terrain here for the lazy ************

somehow i think Carl wont be to pleased with me; a kept my pictures smaller then 200k but still seem huge

sorry Carl

[tantetruus]

lots of carpet everywhere so not to damage the deck

[tantetruus]

Very sleek looking from this angle

[tantetruus]

surprisingly little interest from the Dutch by the way;
only one housewife on the bridge jumped up and down to had a look

Note the drops on the lense; im shooting straight into the rain here

I can't be mad at you for standing in freezing rain. Amevi is one the most eagerly anticipated launches in years. The pics have been re-sized.

Thanks Erik!

Youre welcome

later this week there will be more i hope..

(doesnt hurt to give me the specs for the size of the pictures though))

[YachtForum]

We strive to keep pics under 640 pixels wide. This eliminates side-scrolling for most viewers. If I put a limit on sizes, some newbies might get frustrated, so I leave the accepted size larger. Truthfully, it's faster for me to re-size them, then to walk someone through P-Shop.

Still, no worries Erik. We're thankful that you braved the cold to bring us images of Amevi. Thanks again!

i'll try to remember the 640
Its not so much the lack off p-shop knowledge ( i used to dtp local newspapers and such) but more a VERY lazy and selective memory

Thanks for the great pics, Erik.
