An article in the paper!

Today we received the email newsletter of the Schuttevaer, a paper for proffesional skippers. In this edition the article written about us is published. Coming week the magazine is for sale in stores and via this link you can see the internet version (looks good altough in Dutch).

We are now in Deventer, see google maps. We made a nice trip along the Twente Kanalen. Slept one night on the quay for commercials between the big boys, they keep going trough the night, it draws on the lines.
We passed the lock at Eefde, over 6 meters down, that lasts long in the pouring rain and then we turned on to the IJssel. We had already heard from many people that the IJssel is so beautiful and so far we are not disappointed, the rain stopped the sun was shining and the scenery left and right is wonderful. It was our first time on flowing water and it is fascinating, after all those channels so far, going so fast with the engine so low, it will be disappointing when we are going the other way.

 We anchored last night that was also the first time. We had the back spud pole down but it was unsure whether it would hold the grip. Everything went well, Michel made an anchor alarm: a string attached to a bottle that would fall when we were scratching, but we have not heard a thing. We are in a gravelpit and on the side is approx 3m deep, it's actually too steep for the poles.We had freinds over for a few days and Michel and William howled up the entire anchor chain, measured and marked it and the checked the entire installaton.
We think we stay here a few days and then go up the IJssel towards the Maas
