27th May 2008 – Today we went sailing on the Marie-Galante, my neighbour’s spits barge. She was built in the same year as the Watergeus, but had always been upgraded and even as a house boat she is keeping her standard very height. Having a modern Caterpillar engine, DAF bow thruster and hydraulic steering, she is a beauty to sail on.
On the way back I sailed with her and I really was amazed of her steering, so fluently so nice and that for a spits barge!
It was a great day with a great ship and lovely people! The perfect combination for a good house boat society.
