Toine's coffee machine is located in a beautiful niche in the greenhouse above the engine room.
Refit SeaQuest - part 4
Again 3 weeks have passed and now we 'live' already 10 weeks in Sweden. The end is in sight. According to Carl the boat will go into the water next week and we can go there again at the end of the week...
Refit SeaQuest part 3
We are 3 weeks further and already 7 weeks we 'live' in Sweden. The last 3 weeks the progress of the renovation is very good 😊. See also Refit Sweden. We are already in a constructive phase and...
Refit SeaQuest part 2
So, we are now three weeks further and the refit of the SeaQuest finally seems to have started 😃. How have the last three weeks gone? The first week Toine went up and down to Tilburg for three days...
Refit SeaQuest part 1
The first week in Sweden because of the refit of the SeaQuest is over. A beautiful week in which we switch in a short time from the free boat life to a working life from a nice holiday home close to the shipyard. This transition does...
Summer holiday 2020 - part 2 - round trip Zealand Denmark
The two weeks in Denmark together with the girls are wonderful. We sail around the large island of Seeland, with Copenhagen as our final destination. Denmark surprises us positively and surpasses our verwachting👍👍. From a previous visit...
Summer holiday 2020 - part 1 - Via Germany to the Baltic Sea
The final destination of the summer holiday was already determined at the beginning of this year by the appointment with Adams Boat Care on 17 August in Henån (Sweden) for the conversion of the beds. Fortunately, Denmark's borders will open in time. As a result...
Special times 😊
We just left for our summer vacation to the Baltic Sea. The first week we can take it easy without the girls. That gives me time to look back at the past two months ...
Weekends on board during Corona lockdown

Onboard navigation network
The SeaQuest has a complex network for navigation equipment. This is due to the amount of devices in combination with the different ages of these devices. We prefer to renew the network only for parts where necessary, especially if...
On the boat in times of the corona virus
We have been hauled in the water on March 17th 😄. Because of the corona virus we both work at home from March 10th. So we decided to go in the water just a week earlier. Every day the situation changes, so...
Best internet connection
A good internet connection throughout the boat is probably a wish of many sailors. Like Toine 😎, me and our girls 😉. In most marinas wifi for wireless internet connection is available but the quality often is poor. And once on the way you have to switch back to 3G/4G.
Electricity scheme
Toine has made a very nice electricity scheme of the whole circuit of the boat. In recent years he has adapted and organized this circuit to his own wishes. He keeps track of every change. The power consumers...
Winter maintenance
This winter we spend most of our time polishing the white polyester. The superstructure and the cockpit have never been so shiny 😉. Van Ast polishes the rest of the boat for us and paints the underwater hull....
Planned rebuilding of beds
As we get closer to living on the boat this makes us think about the layout of our bed at the back and the bunk bed in Marinthe's room. We now have the model with two beds...
