After two years sitting still, we finally did it, we got this boat off the dock. But not before discovering why boats really don’t like being ignored.
What started as a simple “one last thing” turned into a deep dive. Dead batteries, corrosion mysteries, and the kind of troubleshooting that reminds us that the learning never stops when you own a boat. Add in tight Dutch canals, a new-to-us control system, and our very first time driving this vessel…and yeah, we were a little nervous
This isn’t a glamorous sea trial. It's a real one. One where we learned a lot (like how the boat sounds and feels underway) and most importantly, that the boat actually works.
Next up: Our Maiden Voyage! Canals, the busiest shipping lane in Europe, locks and bridges, and fuel docks - oh my. Place your bets now folks, who will ding it first? Or do we make it unscathed? 🎰 😜
As always, thanks for being here, you help make this journey possible.
