We are temporarily 'landlubbers' again now that we have been living in our fine newly completed apartment since December 8 π. We call this the 'family rescue zone'; a place where we can always be 'home' as a family during our future traveling existence....
Indian summer and autumn in Bruinisse with lots of time for our family π
How time flies. It is almost November already and winter time has just started. The boat is back in "winter mode"; the cockpit tent is up (enlarging the living space), the plexiglass windows are fixed in the top windows, the...
Solar panel on the davits

Reunited with our family in Bangkok and Cambodia π°ππ
