How do you like living on the boat in Bruinisse? The whole month of April is pretty cold. Out of the wind in the sun it is lovely. But the wind, mostly from the north, makes it very unpleasant and causes cold nights. We leave the cockpit tent up for now 🤔.
During the week we quickly find our rhythm. Working on the boat is just as fine as in Dordrecht. There is some life in the harbour but on weekdays it is relatively quiet. In the evenings we regularly play golf at golf club Grevelingerhout 🏌️♀️♂️. We became members there and our bags and carts can be stored in a locker. This makes it very accessible to walk 9 holes together at least twice a week in the evening 😊👌. On other evenings we often go for a walk.

Since March I have Fridays off once every two weeks to take a long walk of about 20 km. With Mieke on the Hertogenpad or alone somewhere in Zeeland. That is a lot of fun 😊.

The weekends with the girls 'at home' or appointments with other boats are the same as when we still lived in the house. We regularly look for a nice anchor spot to wake up on Sunday morning behind the anchor. Because the wind comes from the north, anchoring in the sun in the afternoons is a lovely way to spend the day. And when everybody goes home on sunday afternoon/evening, we can just stay 😃😊.

It takes some getting used to what we do in the weekends without the girls or appointments. Are we just looking for peace and quiet as we often did in our home. Or contact with others which is much easier in the marina. We have more free time because we don't have to maintain our house and garden anymore and we don't have any projects such as rebuilding our boat or selling our house. That gives us a lot of space to read, walk and play golf.

All in all, we like living on the boat in Bruinisse! It just needs to get a bit warmer 👍.
