Leaving San Sebástian was a bit sad as we had to say good bye to this beautiful scenic city with it's delicious food. On the other hand we were looking forward to discover more of the Basque Country. The passage was unspectacular. The most exciting part was the unexpected heavy winds in the beginning of …
Wow! Almost 3 weeks have been gone since our last entry. Time has been flying; probably because of so many impressions and new adaptions. I need to keep up better with the blog! We loved San Sebastián. It is a beautiful cosy town with a lot of historical buildings and very sociable people. The pintxos …
Very excited on March 23rd, 2019 at 6:45 am we lifted our anchor at Ile de Ré heading south to Spain after the winter. 180 nm through the Biscay alongside the French atlantic coast. It was a beautiful day. The weather god was definitely in a good mood. 10 knots of wind, no clouds and …
Yes,yes,yes we finaly made it! We left La Rochelle. But before we were ready to leave we had to cope with our last major project - the renewal of the antifouling. It turned out to be an ugly, unhealthy, dirty work which nobody likes doing but it is managable. The good part is, you can …
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 …

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. With my rather new toy, the sewing machine, which I like playing with very much, I’m responsible for this …

Welcome to La Rochelle What a strange change! In September, Saint-Martin de Ré was a very busy, little village with lots of tourists, events everywhere, shops, groceries and of course the food markets always open-even on Sundays. And then, suddenly one day later, it happened to be October first - everything was closed? We don’t …

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 …
