Month: February 2021 - page 2

11th February 2021 – I welded a few extra supports to the crane. Since I was welding from a a cable of over 120 meters, I nearly had no power to weld. In the end, it is secure but not the best weld. Once I have proper shore power, I will remake it. I had the same issues with the winch. It is stitched but not properly welded.

In the afternoon, a friend came to help giving the little boat a push so it is now hanging in the crane. My initial idea to push her off the side didn’t work and there no big boats coming that would move Tordino that much the little boat would shift by itself.

10th February 2021 – In the morning we picked up a little boat for Tordino. Sadly enough the owner did not empty the boat and it was filled with water and ice. It took me over an hour to break the ice and empty it. In the afternoon I removed most of the rust and gave it a coat of primer.

9th February 2021 – I did a quick check on Tordino. After a phone call in the wheelhouse I felt asleep for an hour. It was so lovely in the sun behind glass….

The entrance was still in position. I was a bit worried when the ice would melt, that the whole construction could slide down.

6th February 2021 – I finished most of the floor in the kitchen and the entrance was lifted aboard Tordino.

5th February 2021 – I drove to Franeker to pick up the new entrance for the hold of Tordino. It is a nice looking entrance, perfectly shaped and heavily build. 

4th February 2021 – Today we put the parquet in the kitchen. It’s nearly finished but the rain prevented me from continuing.

1st February 2021 – I found a remaining lot of parquet for sale yesterday evening. I called the owner, we agreed a price and I went to pick it up. The plan is to put it down on Thursday.
