17th September 2021 – I mounted the living room door back in the ship but it doesn’t fit anymore. The floor became to high so I need to adjust a lot of stuff now so the door can work again….

16th September 2021 – Instead of working, we made a small journey with the vlet. It had been a while…
15th September 2021 – The Vier Vaargetijden, an inland cruise vessel and the Kromme Balg, an old police boat from Holland, left the lock at Plassendale.
15th September 2021 – Let’s say I was a bit tired from last night. It is always nice to chat to some people, make plans and listen to their ideas. Gives me energy. Energy that was somehow lost today…
Mainly worked on sanding down some planks for the floor of the wheelhouse. I also made a box for the car radio that will be installed in the wheelhouse. At least, when the ship is moving, I can listen to music. My neighbour gave me some advise how to build a proper antenna. This is for the weekend…
15th September 2021 – Probably one the earliest pictures taken in the morning. I certainly want to add some more light to the Stern as well as to Tordino.
14th September 2021 – The weather is not that great. I made the bottom for the kitchen cupboard. Then I started something else…
I want to put a second mast for the Stern, a small one, to hold some extra equipment and an extra antenna. It is the old mast from the Hornblower. I started sanding it down until it rained.
14th September 2021 – This week the canals are being cleaned again. The moored their ship alongside the Watergeus for the night.
14th September 2021 – One of the nice things about working along the Canal are the early morning views…
13th September 2021 – The first evening I could wtart working again on the Stern. After a week of preparations for Open Monumentendag, I can now have some fun again!
13th September 2021 – Another beautiful morning…
12th September 2021 – We had 181 people visiting the ship today. I didn’t make that much publicity since people had to book. I’m extremely happy with the result!
11th September 2021 – We were open for a select group of members from Herita. There was a guided tour aboard Tordino, the vessels in front of me and to finish, we ended up in ‘t Spaans Tolhuis were some fol music was played.
10th September 2021 – We moved the anchor to Tordino, where it will serve as part of the entrance. Since we have no heavy equipment, it was done by hand….
9th September 2021– Normally I don’t allow visitors alongside and certainly not a rental boat. I made an exception, we had a nice chat and everyone happy!
8th September 2021 – Two small jobs done today. I finished the little table for my living room. It was an old table I cut up and shortened so it fits for my chess board.
In the afternoon, I mounted the mast I bought a few weeks ago. It is looking fine. Let’s see if it holds. It was to warm to work so I gave up working and went looking for some shadow underneath some threes.
