September 2011<< Part I28th September 2011: Moving the boatAn English couple is willing to tow my boat to Moerbrugge. Since she is moored at the front of the dock, they wanted her to to be next to them. It would be easier to leave on Friday. I'm under a lot of stress at the moment and forgot to fill up the fuel tank. I changed oil, tired the steering and came with a battery. After two minutes the engine stopped running and we had to tow the boat by hand for approximately 400 meters. Climbing up and won every barge to get the rope and pull her a bit further. In the two minutes the engine ran, we were smoked out. The exhaust was broken and a lot of smoke came free in the wheelhouse. 30th September 2011: The big towSince I had to work, friends took some pictures of the towing. Even if I hadn't to work, I was to ill to do anything. Not sleeping, too much work at my work and at home had taken to much energy of me. In the late evening, I did a little effort of driving my boat from Moerbrugge to her mooring. Something I would regret the next two days.
