18th November 2007 – A fair bit of work has been done today. While my father continued removing old paint from the front cabin, I insulated the sleeping room of the old accommodation, added new wind protected strips to the door of the wheelhouse, cleaned some other stuff and removed a few of my flags. The Dutch flag and flag of Bruges were heavily damaged of the storm from two weeks ago. The Dutch one can be repaired, the one from Bruges is lost. It is sad, but they shouldn’t sell flags that can’t stand a bit of wind in souvenir shops…

I measured the inside of the old accommodation, since I would like to make some changes, like adding a small office space for me to work in the evening.
