Used my saddle horse one winter day to pull my car out of the ditch.

So one of the toasts is very relevant to those of who spend time on the water. Here it is,courtesy of the bartenders on our ship the Rotterdam:

Here is to good ships
And to wood ships
And to ships that sail the seas
But the best ship is our ship (the Rotterdam
and maybe Sundog)
And May there always be friendship.

Cheers

Taking a mixology course is the best deal on the ship if you drink. I may have to crawl back to the cabin😉. Just some extra info. Angustura bitters are made only in Trinidad. Something we learned there - in Trinidad. Today learned about and drank, a cosmopolitan, a metropolitan , a Manhattan and a Manhattan East. And several toasts to having a drink.

Off to Norway on the Rotterdam.

Checking the wave situation for our cruise to Norway’s fjords . Monday a day at sea going and next Saturday returning. I’m thinking the cruise ship should be able to manage the seas. Due to the drought in the Netherlands we will be departing from Rotterdam instead of Amsterdam as the water levels are insufficient in Amsterdam for the cruise ship.

So this was the route I was to follow to get to the bakery. As I started out I went into chart plotter mode with the direction I’m going in being up. Can you see the problem I ended up having? Unlike sailing on our own, the Dutch streets have plenty of people out even when it’s raining and I did eventually get to the bakery.

This process of taking in a windmill sail on a working windmill in Neederweert reminds me of furling a headsail on a sail boat.

One of the small boats sailing out of the harbour to the race course.

Walk around Sundog in the boat yard. 20 months since she was last cleaned. In Trinidad they wax the boats when the owners leave them so we waxed 20 months ago thinking that should work in Antigua too. We will tackle that job in a few days.

The only thing this has anything in common with Sundog is that both run on gasoline and not diesel. Boyd worked on the ‘59 MF for a month to get it running again. We are hoping to get to Antigua some time later in the new year.

Sailing back to Antigua with Onno at the helm. Bigger seas than we usually sail in but the waves were spaced about 10 seconds apart so it ended up being very doable.

If another boat is in the way, just fly over it. We launched today and tonight we are anchored at Jolly a Harbour.

What we found inside the boat after it sat in the yard for many months.
