We make the plan for this holiday in consultation with the girls. We drop the earlier plan for Scandinavia and we focus on a tour of the UK with a focus on Ireland and Scotland. But...
The Ascension weekend we spend as much as possible on the boat, but with the necessary logistical challenges that require us to plan ahead. 😉. On Wednesdays it is quite busy on the road. Toine...
We mainly spend our May holidays in the Veerhaven in Rotterdam, which already feels a bit like 'living on the boat' as we plan to do in 1.5-2 years time. The Veerhaven is located in a beautiful part of...
We don't sit still in the winter, especially Toine. The list of jobs gets longer in the course of the winter and Toine spends a lot of hours on it in the weekends. With this time especially an eye for the high...
On Friday the 21st of February we will visit the HR shipyard together with 37 other HRC members. A fantastic experience to be able to see the production process and the construction of our brand boat from start to finish in real life....
The SeaQuest is ready for a well-deserved 'hibernation'. Last weekend was the last sailing trip of the year. In the sunshine in the marina of Wemeldinge we took off the sails. Coming Friday we sail to Brouwershaven and there will be...
Yesss, we're back in Holland again!!! Back in Bruinisse and back at our house tonight. That feels a bit strange but also very good! 👍👍👍 When we left Florida just over 10 weeks ago...
The last long trip back home. We know at the start that it is not an ideal weather window. We expect light weather and no strong wind, but the wind is almost out during the second half of the trip...
We're only on the Azores for six days, which is relatively short, but we make the most of the days in the atmosphere of the Azores. That atmosphere can be briefly described as cosy full marinas with many long-distance sailors and...
Yessss... we're in Horta! How good it feels to be here (again)! Again a nice milestone, back in Europe and 1.510 nm closer to home. We have now sailed a total of 3,230 nm and still have about...
We spend 4 days in the beautiful anchor bay of Arichat in the north-eastern part of Nova Scotia. It is a sheltered bay for all wind directions and that is what we need during the day/night when there is a big front....
We're staying in Halifax for a week and that's great. We are in a nice marina with very nice people, a nice restaurant and a lot of activity. Sailing races right in front of us, boats entering the water again after the winter...
We stay 'just' a week in a fantastic sailing area where you can relax for months if not years and still see something new every time. The 10 mile long Cape Cod Canal is the sailing area of the...
After the first night at anchor in West Palm Beach we study the weather and decide to sail up to Canada along the east coast of the US. The weather looks good that way for the coming week....
The last week in Florida is special and intensive because of the busy schedule of preparations for our departure, the lots of rain and thunderstorms and saying goodbye to everything that has become dear to us in Florida. The weather is...
