18th August 2020 – Did half of the ceiling for the bedroom, insulation and t&g. The more insulation I can use now, the less I have to move to build the bed and the front of the ship.

7th April 2018 – After being away for one month, Watergeus needed some attention. I cleaned the remaining hatches with a high pressure cleaner. The other half was done somewhere last year. Gangways were cleaned and watertanks refilled.
In the late afternoon, I went with two neighbours on our small boat for a trip along the other boats and small canals. The start of the season!
14th October 2015 – Part of a long gone past, they towed an old minesweeper from Ostend to Bruges. I’ve known her as a minesweeper, a ship from the Scouting in Ostend, a private conversion and now as a poor empty hull.
2nd March 2007 – My first night at my new mooring. Whether I should put this online or not, no idea. Again my gangway ended up between the quay and my boat. One day it will be in the water. I called this afternoon to hear more about the mooring posts on land and it seems obvious, I will have to pay for them, a 1000 euros each! Depending on how I will sleep the following couple of nights I might place them!
So when I arrived I had to make a power cable from the front of the boat to the back. In the front there is the fuse box where the 380v arrives. It is split up in two 220v plugs. All my cables are German type of socket with no hole for the earth. After looking I managed to create 26m cable by taping several cables together. It was already dark so tomorrow I’ll try to make something nice out of it! At least I had power in the back accommodation.
It feels relative strange, knowing that in Sluiskil my neighbours were there to help me. I now need to cook for myself, look for food and find something to keep my busy. Working on a computer is, since my accident in December last year, relative hard. I am starting to feel lonely here in Bruges!
