About to leave
We leave for France on Monday 4th April. We will spend up to two weeks getting the barge ready for the summer season and wil then head off, North along the Yonne River, before turning South and performing a huge loop through Burgundy (Bourgogne).
Simon the Shipwright has been performing some repairs on Anja over the winter season. Re-antifouling the hull, repairing cracked and broken engine mounts, replacing two failed double-glazed windows and mounting a different alternator on the engine.
We have already shipped over a box containing a used motor and alternator. These will be mounted in the engine room and enable us to charge the large battery banks. We have stuffed the box full of other things such as books and clothing. it weighs 141Kg and has currently arrived in Frankfurt.
Well, must go and start packing clothes etc. Penny has completed her packing.
Regds,
Dave and Penny
