Today the house is really sold. In the morning we drive from Dordrecht to Tilburg, first to the notary in Rijen to sign a power of attorney. Due to corona we are not allowed to be at the signing this afternoon. Hence the...
The first week in winter temperatures ☃️❄️
The first week we live on the boat we experience severe winter conditions with a big layer of snow and temperatures between -3 C during the day and -10 C at night. We are happy with it, it's...
From 450m2 back to 67m2
This weekend we go from 450m2 in our house down to 67m2 (45m2 on the boat and 12m2 in storage). It's a good thing we've already sold, given away or taken to the dump quite a bit of stuff. Is it going to...
Unpacking - part 2
It is the whole month of January a real trade on marketplace. We don't keep count anymore but the total number of advertisements is at least over 150, the total number of packages sent is at least over 70 and the total number of...
Dismantling - part 1
Moving from a big house to a boat ... 'what do you do with all your stuff', we are regularly asked. The boat is already nicely furnished, so there's not much more we can go there. We'll take some of it with us...
Happy holidays and a healthy and happy 2021 !!!
This picture has Eline gemaakt👌👌. The SeaQuest is the boat with the lights.
The SeaQuest is located in Dordrecht
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 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
The layout of the cabin on the starboard side just in front of the tip with a bunk bed is actually only useful if you need more than one berth. In practice we never used the upper bunk bed and it felt like...
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...
