3rd October 2022 – In the evening I went to see a teacher who has roots in the inland waterways. Her whole family were skippers. I left with hundreds of photos, some nice objects and a table from her parents ship.

2nd October 2022 – I scanned over a hundred covers of books I had bought yesterday at the museum.
29th September 2022 – Another evening of scanning covers of magazines and adding them to Erfgoed in Zicht….
28th September 2022 – Just another evening of scanning, so much more to go…
27th September 2022 – I did some scanning yesterday and continued today. After moving the library units, I didn’t want to put back the unscanned magazines, so all I can do now is scanning and scanning… Since it is raining, there are no other jobs to do anyway.
25th September 2022 – I put the remaining cupboards of the Library of the Watergeus in the library of Tordino. It gives an extra storage addition for new books. While rebuilding some parts of the library, I now also have much more space to add new items on Houten walen to the running exhibition.
In the afternoon, we cleaned some of the presentation boxes. Slightly preparing for the next summer!
23rd September 2022 – I found some time to do a few small jobs aboard Tordino. Two broken computer boxes were replaced, the library is cleaner again and a few lights were added or replaced. I made some space for new cupboards and that’s it for now…
11th September 2022 – It was a big success. A good amount of people came to see Tordino. Like every year many people who didn’t book tried to get in as well. This year, we tried to allow most of them to get to see the museum aboard Tordino.
7th September 2022 – We started scanning postcards again. Around 200 new cards will be added to our Library.
27th August 2022 – I had two major groups visiting Tordino this afternoon…
24th August 2022 – I took some time, in between converting our place, to work aboard Tordino. I did some scanning and put some books in the right shelves. It was slightly to warm to work, but It felt good to do at least something aboard…
11th August 2022 – Between every sheet of the wheelhouse roof, there is a wooden gutter. They are still fine, but not to last another 100 years. I left enough space between the sheets and the gutter to slide an aluminium gutter in between. If it works, the rain water should no longer touch the wood. Let’s hope, since they are speaking about heavy rain next week….
8th August 2022 – We received a model of a houten waal from an skipper’s wife today. It is a nice addition to our collection!
2nd August 2022 – My mother cleaned the front of the ship, namesigns and the canal side of the ship. That side urgently needs some attention! I chipped the anchor on the front deck. An anchor I got from a neighbour, the same neighbour who later complained it was in front of the Watergeus. Well now it is aboard Tordino and it will remain there for a long period!
1st August 2022 – The wooden lists are finished. I just need to replace one more window and then I can move on to the next project aboard Tordino.
