Epilogue 2007

Ready for winter 2007-2008

When mooring Cómplice for winterstop, I noted 550 hours on the meter. So with 26o hrs on the meter for the first season, we enjoyed 290 hours this 2007 season. We really enjoyed, despite the summer has been less sunny and brought quite some more wind, compared to 2006. Frankly, we did not bother much.

We had some problems with the Volvo D2-55, with the diesel filter coming off the engine, and some battery issues, but both were handled by Linssen with great care. Not any further issue.

In these two seasons, Cómplice has brought us to all wind-directions (looking from the perspective of home port, which is in the middle of our country): South (to Maastricht), East (to Dalfsen), North (to Lauwersmeer) and West (to Rotterdam).

I have started to bundle our experience as published in this blog into a little booklet, with sections for each direction we have chosen. If you are interested, please mail to linssen.experience@gmail.com. Once ready, I will provide a pdf-download.

For now, this blog has winter stop as well.

Looking forward to Season 2008!
