The Lock

A cross between a barge, a tug and a dive-support vessel. The C-Fenna is currently helping to connect offshore wind turbine cables to a shore station close to Banff, Scotland. The wind turbine are way out there in the Moray Firth.
Not two things you see together often…

Here is a very rare site in Holland, a marina without any boats.
The reason is the marina here at Hemmeland (Monnickendam) is being dredged to make the water deeper for the boats that are normally here. Â All the boats that are normally parked here have been moved out of the way so the dredger can do its work.
The Empty Harbour
Here’s our home at our winter berth. Â We’re tucked away in a warm corner of the marina and nicely out of the wind.

Oh no not more gears!
Here’s a flashback to 2015 – Amsterdam Sail. Â The next Amsterdam Sail will be in 2020.

The Quiet Moment
This photograph was taken in October 2012 when the keel for our boat, Lucie, was laid. Â We have now been living on Lucie for over 3 years! Â We’ve just moved to our winter berth in Holland.
