Since yesterday we are at our winter berth in the Knolhaven in Dordrecht. A very nice spot! The coming time we will partly live on the boat in Dordrecht and partly in our house in Tilburg. How we spend the time...
On the way home 😊
It will take us 12 days to sail back from Sweden to Dordrecht. That will be our accommodation for the coming winter. Two weeks on the way home and from the beginning also at home. The boat really feels at home already...
Refit SeaQuest last part
This is the last part of the refit in Sweden this autumn. After 12 weeks of staying in Sweden it has come to an end. The house is cleared, the boat is cleared, ready to go back to the Netherlands...
Refit list Sweden
In the period from 17 August to 7 November 2020, the SeaQuest is located at Adams Boat Care in Sweden for a refit aimed at living comfortably on the boat. We are closely involved in the refit throughout this period...
Refit Sweden - center bed
The most important part of the refit in Sweden is the conversion of the aft cabin to a center bed layout. We had the model with three beds and a bench in between. We wanted the layout with a center bed. We...
Refit Sweden - super cabin

Refit Sweden - workplace Toine
The corona situation with a lot of working from home makes us think about two good workplaces on board where we can both work undisturbed with a lot of video calls. The plan was a new workplace for Mira in the...
Refit Sweden - workplace Mira
The switch to a layout with a centre bed in the aft cabin creates the possibility of a good workplace for Mira on the starboard side. This is important now that we are going to live on the boat for a longer period of time and because...
Refit Sweden - washing machine cabinet
Now that we are going to live on board for a longer period of time, we think it is important to have a good washing machine and preferably also a drying machine on board. So that we are not dependent on the facilities in marinas for this. We had such a compact Candy...
Refit Sweden - card table
The card table is standard too high in relation to the seat height of the bench to sit there comfortably. Toine partly solved this problem herself at the beginning of this year by temporarily increasing the seat height of the chair and...
Refit Sweden - new bimini with sides
The bimini (sun tent) has only become an old rag 😉. It still belongs to the previous owner and needs to be replaced. Now we are in Sweden supplier Rössy can easily come by to measure a new bimini.....
Refit Sweden - new floor covering
We've had new carpets laid all over the boat. The standard colour cream from Hallberg-Rassy is just a bit darker than the previous floor covering, with a small speck of warm brown. Very nice and somewhat less contagious 😃. We...
Refit Sweden - coffeemaker
Toine's coffee machine is located in a beautiful niche in the greenhouse above the engine room.
