    Like New! (But heavier…)

    So after a few days of really nice weather the paint job is now ready. I use about 5 hours to do one coat of paint. Makes you feel quite whacked after working with your arms above your head for 5 hours. I’m a bit surprised by the change in looks caused by the 15…

  • What?!? Another storm!

    Don’t know what the matter is with this place. People say it’s not usually like this. Global warming? (Click to play the video)

      The anti-fouling has been giving up the last 6 months, as you can see…

  • Good timing.

I think this is caused by the large amount of mussels and seaweed that’s growing in the outlet :-) ! I wasn’t to worried about this, however. Because tomorrow morning I am finally, after 3 months on the waiting…
