The problem with water is.......
Living on a ship you have a lot to do with water, both inside and outside and it's not always as you want it. Water remains frozen solid outside and even in the channel, where the big cargo ships sail the ice floes. Good for beautiful pictures but we cannot sail. Inside you have another problem, condensation! Since we own 't Major reducing condensation has been a spearhead for us, all we have converted since the acquisition is well insulated and it shows, partly due to us living aboard permanently and heating. Unfortunately, the isolation in the parts that we have not converted is minimal and although we have improved a lot we still have occasional unpleasant surprises.
The upper edge of the beautiful new closet in the guest room suddenly was wet. Michel couldn't do anything but opening up the ceiling bit by bit; it turned out that constructing the cabinet changed the surroundings. Now the melting water from icicles hanging on the inside of the deck drains through the closet and not along the walls to the plane. We can restore it but it was not as we intended. As far as I’m concerned winter may de over but unquestionably it gives beautiful views. See a the photos with our view from the kitchen window and a picture of Panache during a walk.
