We are ready to roll. All the items on the list have been done; the boat yard and the diesel mechanic have been paid and we are heading out tomorrow. We have done a practice run in the local waterway and didn't hit anybody! Terry did a masterful job of navigating back into a tight berth in the marina. The only problem is the weather has turned lousy. The locals smile and say "now you have the real Dutch weather". That means cold wind and rain and grey skies. It is supposed to improve tomorrow and get "better" for the weekend. France is looking much more attractive.
So tomorrow we are off to Sneek/Snits where we will moor in town and get any last minute things we need, and then we are really on our way.
Glad to hear you've finished the "maintenance" thing, hope it was not more than you anticipated. Looking to hear more about the boat, your activities, etc as you head down/up the canal. It's been chilly here!
ReplyDeleteToni's doing really well with a good doctor visit yesterday, we're good to go to Berkeley for our nieces graduation this weekend.

Craig,
ReplyDeleteIt's been more thsn chilly here too. Thsnks for the knind words and we are both pleased that Toni is recovering well. Of course the "maintentance" is more than anticipated. It's just like a remodel. Costs more and takes longer than expected. Oh well.
