Work is proceeding nicely

Work on Hildur is proceeding nicely in C.J. Skibs- og Bådebyggeri shipyard in Egernsund, Denmark.

Every day there are around a dozen men working in the shipyard, both Danish as well as few Icelanders from Húsavík and surroundings. The weather has been quite cold with snowy days and in fact, it´s been colder in Egernsund than in Húsavík for the past few days.

But working conditions are good in the shipyard where they´ve built a shelter from wind and snow/rain over Hildur.


Following are some pictures but more can been seen here.
