LinoCat

Since it was warm enough to now put the letters LinoCat on the stern Ruediger helped me in doing. Also we went to Enkhuizen and had a night stay there. Cute little Kiddy boat as a tender... Two cats meet each other. Of course we let him go longside. The family had their daughter and her friends and they partied all night but thats OK :-) Here you can see LINOCAT in nice big blue Letter. Mannheim the homeport is on the starboard side

Hi, since the weatherforecast was nice we decided to go on a weekendtrip with Ruediger and Claudia and decided to first visit Stavoren. The Parasailor was also used again. We also visited Oude Schild a non Marina emergency harbour whith some yachting industry. Ruediger and Claudia sitting on the lee side. In Stavoren. Notice the liftraft is not there yet, also the Dinghy is missing and even the LinoCat letter at the sugarscoops.

During the 35th, 26th and 27th it was the first time that we got out of the Ijsselmeer and to the Northsea with all the tide and current and ships and islands etc. It was a nice experience even though the weather was not to nice. The lock has a normal chamber and then this draw bridge which not really "drawing :-)" but turning Big things cross your way on the north sea.

Today was the official christianing ceremony with parents and my brother and his kids, etc. Family had fun enjoying the cruise The parasailor was alsu used again in light wind this time. Here you can see the "sock" in which it is held

Our Parasailor2 arrived today. With a guy from the deliverycompany ISTEC we did a testsail and we were more than happy. we reached 10knots and what more can you ask for on 38feet catamaran. These days that would not be possible due to the weight we added to the boat.

The first mishap happened on the boat. the warm water boiler leaked because a hoseclamp was not tightened properly at the factory. So all warmwater ended up in the bilge. Today Markus, Marc and Frank visited LinoCat and we discussed about our future plans and ideas.
