Goodbye to our Daycruiser Solrun

For 6 wonderful years our daycruiser Solrun, a Draco 21 SC, has given us and our friends enjoyment in the summertime. We have explored most parts of the Oslofjorden, but have been repeat visitors to Middagsbukta and Sandspollen. The Oslofjord has several small islands that are perfect for anchoring up and having a picnic.
Many foreigners are not aware of how hot it can get here in the summer, even the water heats up rather nicely. 23 degrees are not unusual. My personal limit for jumping aboard is 20. Most of my friends call me a chicken for that...
If you are concidering purchasing a used daycruiser you cannot go wrong with a Draco 21 feet. Unfortunate I was taken by the 3 feet illness (as we call it in Norway). Actually I was hit rather bad so the illness became a dramatic 6 foot illness. The result is Solrun II. More about her later. Below is a image of Solrun, click it to see more pictures of how great it is to have a daycruiser in the Oslofjord.
