The day before the grand opening, the construction area starts to transform into the village it wants to, for some there remains only minor adjustments, for others they have a long night ahead of them. The Puma barge is a pretty cool construction but they had a late delivery and are a bit behind.
- It takes you back to the houses in Tokyo that are built on water, said Teresa. I wouldn´t mind living like this. On the shore in the heart of the City. This is where the Puma dry team, those who deal with visitors, are to be located. (see pic1)
The Wet team, responsible for the boats, are located on the other side of the area, closer to the bridge towards Slussen. This is the depot for the V70s´and today here is full action, in containers like the one on the picture there are tools of different kind to repair the boats and make sure that there demands are being fulfilled during the stopover and the boat are in ultimate shape for the last leg towards St Petersburg in Russia. (see pic 2,3)
Before soaked in rain the antenna were to be placed on the top of the container where the official radio are being broadcasted.
The container were to be closed up, but it all had to be tested first. Loogna did his first action report live at RadioVolvoOceanRace, by HF link, it worked and we are on live from tomorrow morning 1000 at the grand opening and then at 1300 the V70 boats set off from Marstrand towards Sandhamn.
