I see you are going great guns with your Bonnie. I read your introduction - 8mm minimum! that's a dream! Our barge is 120 years old and was originally a sailing ship - her hull is between 3.6 and 6 mm so we have a few dodgy bits. We hope to convert her all the way back to sail, but for now she isn't even our home, so quite a bit to do still.<br />Good luck with all your plans, cheerio for now.mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14626040733004348960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86847969486733799.post-75855271743244544932010-04-05T11:12:12.977+01:002010-04-05T11:12:12.977+01:00Vally, we have been over to Holland on the yacht s...Vally, we have been over to Holland on the yacht several times and had some great times. But I am not so fond of the longer trips these days, it takes about 24 hours to get to Holland. We are so busy with the barge that I very much doubt we will get much sailing in this summer. You do get a certain kind of peace on the water that is unique and that's one reason why we want to live on the water.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117681021989984923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86847969486733799.post-82326446200029018362010-04-04T23:06:03.875+01:002010-04-04T23:06:03.875+01:00Very true, Fran.

I love the water, but am a bad sailor, so the sea is not for me, but the peace of a canal at sunset in rural Holland, Belgium or France..well, there's nothing to beat that for me.Vallypeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309284606572565277noreply@blogger.com
