Late fall sailing

going out on the boat at the end of October can be a (weather) challenge. we were lucky enough that the sky was open and there was a good wind on Lake Grevelingen. our first night we stayed overnight on the Island of Hompelsplaat or also known by us as "horse island" because of the presence of wild horses here. during our evening walk we found the horses close by the only fresh water pond on the island. just beautiful.

definately fall has started here.Today it was windy and rainy but great for a local forest walk. The colors in the woods are starting to be beautiful and on the wet ground hidden gems start showing.

Neighbourhood chapel

Our neighbourhood chapel where we lighted a small candle today for all the people we know that need support and/or health to become happy in life again.

Dear tree stump

Dear tree stump. I found you in the garden where we had our little cabin for one night along the Hardangerfjord in the South West part of Norway. We needed something to keep our unhooked trailer leveled during the night so the cool box in the trailer kept working to keep our food and my proteïne drinks cool. When I found you, you were put to waste against an old wall and no future use for you seemed possible. But as it appeared you were the right size and shape for the job that changed. From that point you did your job for 3 weeks for us. You did loose some weight during the trip (as I did as well) but there was never a complaint from you. You stood in sunshine, rain, wind and even sub zero temperatures and again never any complaint. On the end of the trip we thought you deserved better than just be obsolete and thrown away. We deceived to make you a chair for our garden gnome’s. And thats what you do since then. Our gnome’s are very thankful and we can see you every day reminding us of a great trip. Thank you dear tree stump.

Back on our BLOG

It's been 10 years ago sice our last entry here. Main rason was the existance of FACEBOOK that can deal with a lot of "latest news". However, upon many requests related to our travels and specificly our photo's we will try to make this actual again. Today I started a test with a new website for photo galleries and you can find the first (test) result on this BLOG on the right under "photo albums". Tell us what you think. It will improve over time such as text with the photo's where they were taken or other details. Have fun.
