On the move again

It’s spring again, we had a wonderful holliday (New York and Iceland) and now its about time to leave Haarlem

the Welvaart turns round in the Spaarne

Our neighbours left already, they turned around to go North to Enkhuizen and we leave tomorrow (Sunday) to the south. The first day we’ll probably get to the Kagerplassen and find a nice spot there.
After that we go to Leiderdorp where we have an appointment with a sail maker to discuss the possibilities for a tent around the aft deck.

Michel scrubs

The last days we did some necessary work like completely hosing and scrubbing the ship, much needed after six months in the city

last work on the aft deck

Before we went on vacation Michel made a new wooden deck at the stern, it's less oblique and now the soup stays in the plates. It is very nice and also a good opportunity for new chairs and a new table.

Then of course we had to paint the deck before leaving.

This makes it impossible for a picture of the new deck in full regalia so that is for the next episode.

We are looking forward to our journey with great enthusiasm, we'll keep you informed and like to see your reactions to our posts.
