September 2011>> Part II4th September 2011: BowThe bow is nearly finished. Two bollards on each side, the hatch and an air vent are the finishing touch of the front cabin. I did some wood work on the inside. A friend came to say hello. He recommended me changing the bathroom. Put it in the front of the barge and keep the back area as study room and sleeping room. I might consider it!
10th September 2011: ThunderMost of the day, I spent in the fore peak of the Hornblower. I did some woodwork and some insulation. In the evening there was bad weather.
16th July 2011: A short dayI did some more woodwork today, building a bulkhead between the forepeak and the new bathroom. I had to to a party in the evening, so I didn't stay long. 24th September 2011: PaintingI spent most of the day painting one side and cleaning the deck. In the late afternoon I started preparing for the voyage to Bruges.
25th September 2011: Engine, steering and BBQA lot of technical issues have to be arranged before leaving Sluiskil. One of them was the cooling of the engine. The exhaust was leaking, so that needed a fix as well. The steering was not working properly and the wheelhouse was still a mess. We had a great bbq with the neighbours in the evening. >> Part II
