LinoCat

View from the Tivoli Marina Hotel. In the back you can see the reception pontoon. All boats usually stop there and then get a berth in the marina assigned. I spoke with them and they gave me direct berth H69/70 for the next day. Yes, you heard it right, the 29th of July we should be back in the water. Lets see!

The cover of the saildrives are not fitte yet. Also the welding work for the 3 solarpanels is not done. Well besides the watermaker not a lot was done.

It was very important to be able to recline the seat so Lani can sleep when going out for dinner outside the boat. Our old mosikto net also fits this one and we added a sunshade from Teutonia instead of an umbrella. In windy areas the umbrella do not withstand a wind stronger than a lite breeze. We also wanted to have a small storage net for drinking bottle, food and some books and this was also standard as you can see on the left. From above there is a window so you can have a look at your little one (and the other way around :-) ) The bigger the wheels the better. Then the stroller can be used in rought terrain also. This wheelsize is the absolute minimum. Folded the unit can be transported easily with one hand and a...
