The period in Bruinisse after returning from our summer vacation until the end of October flies by. By now we are completely used to living on the boat and are no longer concerned with the difference with living in a house. It goes...
Return trip with obstacles - never a dull moment ☺️
The return trip to the Netherlands takes a special turn halfway through. Never a dull moment as a long distance sailor ☺️. Now, sailing back from Sweden is always a challenge because of finding a good weather hole with prevailing winds from the...
Summer vacation 2021 - west coast Sweden
We are having a wonderful 11 day vacation with our daughters on the west coast of Sweden. How lucky we are with the weather 😃. Lots of sunshine, regular fine winds for sailing short stretches, almost no rain and no...
At Adams Boat Care - part 2
The rebuilding of the entrance will eventually take 3.5 weeks. During that time we are moored at the yard and just working ourselves. In the evenings we occasionally go out for dinner in Henän or Ellös, or we...
At Adams Boat Care - part 1
We have been docked at Adams Boat Care for 2 weeks now for the remodeling of the entrance. That is still quite a job. Carl had previously mentioned about 6 days, we were already taking into account 2 weeks and it...
Back in Sweden 😊🇸🇪
We are back in Sweden for the last part of the refit at Adams Boat Care. For a new entrance we replaced the two separate hatches by one retractable hatch. The materials for this were delivered a few weeks ago...
Spring in Bruinisse
The rest of the spring in Bruinisse flies by. Toine goes to the office regularly but I still work completely from 'home'. Fortunately that goes fine on the boat ☺️. Although it will probably be good for me to have a break after the...
Big spring cleaning
From Wednesday morning until Friday afternoon we will be on the shore at Van Ast in Brouwershaven for the big spring cleaning. We can just live on the boat, with a ladder accessible 😃. Of course, we've been to the shore many times before,...
Cold month of April in Bruinisse
How do you like living on the boat in Bruinisse? The whole month of April is pretty cold. Out of the wind and in the sun it is lovely. But the wind, which comes from the north, often makes it unsafe and...
Moving from Dordt to Bru
We have been living on the boat for 9 weeks now and we like it very much. It feels very natural, like it has been a long time since we lived in a house ☺️. The weeks in Dordrecht fly by. With working at home, off...
The house is really sold 😃🍾🥂
Today the house is really sold. In the morning we drive from Dordrecht to Tilburg, first to the notary in Rijen to sign a power of attorney. Due to corona we are not allowed to be at the signing this afternoon. Hence the...
The first week in winter temperatures ☃️❄️
The first week we live on the boat we experience severe winter conditions with a big layer of snow and temperatures between -3 C during the day and -10 C at night. We are happy with it, it's...
From 450m2 back to 67m2
This weekend we go from 450m2 in our house down to 67m2 (45m2 on the boat and 12m2 in storage). It's a good thing we've already sold, given away or taken to the dump quite a bit of stuff. Is it going to...
Unpacking - part 2
It is the whole month of January a real trade on marketplace. We don't keep count anymore but the total number of advertisements is at least over 150, the total number of packages sent is at least over 70 and the total number of...
Dismantling - part 1
Moving from a big house to a boat ... 'what do you do with all your stuff', we are regularly asked. The boat is already nicely furnished, so there's not much more we can go there. We'll take some of it with us...
