Spring is in the air

The sun is shining again, this was a real strange behavior from mother nature. Within two weeks the temperature went from -10 Celcius to +15 Celcius. So we grabbed the upportunity and picked the motorbike and drove to Dutch water. Without any appointment we drove to Almere just to see if we could see them (from the outsite) in reallife.

Well that was nice, just the two of us, the spring in the air and just dreaming about the future. We found the broker, and we could enter a doc (on the hard) where we could see some differents sizes of boats. And even more interesting, we could check the bottoms of that boats. We could see the differences and see for ourselves what people on the internet told us.

— For your information, the Youtube channel Project Aticus is buying a new boat, we love to see and hear what they have to tell us about their boat hunt. They are capable to tell us in simple words what is important for them. That gives us more inspiration to discus what we think is important. —

So that is a nice experience, we totaly see the differences between the protected props and rudders. Also the differences in maintenance from the bottoms we saw. And our eyes fell at a boat that we thought is might be interesting. An Etap 39, we saw this kind off a boat before. It crossed our list. Because of its crowdy interior layout we skiped it from the list. But in real life we thought this boat can be interesting. And we remembered the phonetalk Roelof had with a private seller from such boat. It is by design isolated and has an unsinkable hull. So maybe we should put this boat on our list again and check the inside to feel if it is realy a croudy interior.
