31st May 2020 – I did some repairs in the back accommodation. The idea is to rent it out again so it must be clean. My mother comes tomorrow to give it a fresh coat of paint.
28th May 2020 – My parents came to do the gardening around the Watergeus
27th May 2020 – We have a neighbour for the night. While he moored alongside, we noticed it is very shallow underneath Tordino.
The Ludivine is a nice example of a Belgian Kempenaar. We were together at the yard two years ago…
10th May 2020 – Ten years ago I bought a cabinet for the Watergeus but never had room to put it. Now it is my workshop.
9th May 2020 – While I had to be in the marina, I took some pictures of the boats being put in the water.
6th May 2020 – While I had to do some painting, I repaired damaged parts aboard the Watergeus.
5th May 2020 – A small addition to the workshop….
3rd May 2020 – While I had to paint the other side of the metal hatch and the lightboxes for Tordino, I repainted the skylight and a part of the front deck of the Watergeus.
2nd May 2020 – I continued cleaning metal, finishing the hatch I started yesterday evening. Then I did the second lightbox for Tordino.
1st May 2020 – It is getting heavy, seeing no friends and always working from home, no social contact besides seeing the people walking by on the towpath and street. I can’t work on my projects, it is bad weather and I’m running out on inside jobs and energy…
In the evening, I started working with cleaning a metal hatch to protect a window on the front deck. It is an old hatch from the Aquarel, I will use it in winter time or when I’m moving the ship.
27th April 2020 – I gave a last coat of oil on the wheelhouse. I hope it to be good for a few years now… There are some more jobs to be done, but it will be raining tomorrow so, they have to wait.
26th April 2020 – I cycled through all three marinas in Bruges to have some sport done at least…
26th April 2020 – I mainly cleaned the wheelhouse and my tools. The next step is the back accommodation. I managed to open the windows again. The next step will be repairing the joins with silicon and giving it a new coat of paint.
25th April 2020 – I painted half of the roof of the back accommodation, a part of the front deck, the steps to the wheelhouse and the wheelhouse itself got a second / third coat of oil. In the evening, I sorted out tools in the workshop.
