Mantaqueen III is in the water today.

Hi everyone
     It's one of the best days of the week. The sun is shining. And finally our big boat Mantaqueen III gets to be in the water.
     We started to build Mantaqueen III in May 2010. It's a steel boat, 36m long and 7.5m wide. Everyone is working very hard on the boat and we managed to finish the hull of the boat. The boat is now in the water since 14:30pm today. They started the launch at 09:00am with many workers and 4 cranes. There were more than 100 people watching by the time they pushed the boat into the water. It was a very exciting show for all the kids and the villagers around there. We all had champagne and some food together after the big job was done.
