Yesterday we did a testrun – bringing the ship to water. The good news: We no longer have big leaks. The bad news: We have a few small ones. However they are not that bad. Here you see some great shots – thanks to Julius Bumblies for the great pictures – and for helping on board.

The experts discuss the state of affairs.

The dry dock is by far the most expensive part of all the renovation work. I already paid a huge chunck, but by the end of March I will need to pay another 10.000 + Euro for the remaining repairs. If you can help and / or know people who would enjoy being part of this procect and sponsor it- please let me know.
