We arrived in Dordrecht and immediately fell in love with the place! So much so, we’ve decided to stay here for the winter – instead of heading to a planned winter berth in Southampton…
Dordrecht is a very old city, with plenty of history and loads of things for us to do to while away the winter months. Since we’re here for 6 months, we’ve taken up Dutch residency – which will give Laurie a full 5 years of being able to travel around Europe without having to worry about time limits… Hopefully by then, the Portuguese government will have finally considered her application for citizenship!

Boat chores are well underway – but there’s plenty of those to keep us busy too!
The boat chores… this is the low pressure watermaker pump – new seals and new bearings now installed…
