Sorry guys for all the notification e-mails you might have received (we do not know who did get notificaitons and who didn't). We discovered that our entries were getting to big and will become even more bulky if we continue in the same way as we have done. So we tried to restructure the website …
We hope all of you had a wonderful x-mas and we wish y'all a very exciting, healthy and peaceful 2019. Time goes by so fast! Especially when you're enjoying it. Our x-mas, which we spend as always with the whole family, was very relaxing and wonderful. Having the opportunity to see and catch up with …

Projects on a boat don't seem to find endings ... unless you just stop! Which we didn't until we decided to have a break to visit Jana in Paris. 🙂 That's why there's nothing really interesting to write about. I did some sewing, a cover for the outboard engine and for the navigation panel in …
…especially when you’re fast proceeding on your goals. Since we got our shipment we’ve been really busy with all our boat and live-aboard projects which were and still are waiting on our list to be done.

Sunday afternoon the wind finally took a break, so we decided to go ashore to stretch our legs and have a look at the other side of the island. It was a lovely walk at the beachside with amazingly beautiful houses built ashore. The trouble was the wind only slept for a little while. By …
Sunday morning we finally left Bourgenay pretty early in the morning after finishing all the things aboard we had to do. We decided to sail for a couple of weeks as long as the weather is still comfortable and before heading to La Rochelle. Our destination was Ile d’Yeu, Port - Joinville which we visited …
After a roller coaster August in Austin with all the stuff coming up like getting rid off all our furnitures and goods, cars, scooter and personel stuff you can't take on a boat, we made it finally to Bourgenay by September 10th. BIG THANK YOU to all our friends in Austin, helping us during this …
We left La Rochelle early for the final 30 sm trip to Port Bourgenay. Even the best holidays do come to an end and the last day sailing was sweetened with great wind and waves. The marina was pretty busy and strong winds were pushing from the back. So we provided some entertainment (aka: …
In the morning we took the last (for Benoit) short leg to La Rochelle. The arrival at La Rochelle with a boat is always impressive, especially when you enter the Vieux Port (old port) through the entrance towers. The visitor platforms are in the town centre. Arriving at around lunchtime the kids enjoyed themselves …
