These are strange times. At first it was corona that completely dominated the news, now that's completely receded into the background. First replaced by the broadcast of Angry about transgressive behavior, then the three storms Dudley, Eunice and Franklin .... and...
We have been in Bruinisse for almost two weeks at our own familiar spot. Why so early in the season? When we heard in early February that we have one day left to leave the harbor and otherwise until at least...
It is the first time that we live on the boat for a whole winter and are moored in Dordrecht. Last year the boat was also in Dordrecht for the whole winter but we were still busy until the beginning of February with the...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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,...
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...
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 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...
This picture has Eline gemaakt👌👌. The SeaQuest is the boat with the lights.
