Visitors from Drayton

This past Wednesday we had visitors from Drayton

The Dekkers, and the Hesselinks.

It was not long and Bert took control of the wheel.

If you see him ask him if it was easy to keep Le reve in the center of the river.

An other visit to Zwartewaterklooster

Joannes cousin and her husband came to the boat for a coffee. Afterwards we went for a bike ride with them, and ended up in Kooster and visited the cemetery where my grandparents are buried.

It is very unique in that it is very small (perhaps 100 graves) and anyone who was born in the village of Klooster has the right to be buried there. It is kept very neat by the people of Klooster.

Still in the area of Zwartsluis Hasselt

Sunday Aug. 3de we had family on board for a run to Zwolle. My Uncle (second row on right) is my Dads youngest brother, and the only uncle I have left.
Also on the picture are my cousin Wim van Lenthe with his wife as well as my cousin Dina Wennemers nee van Lenthe with her husband and son Jan Willem. Also in the picture are there friends Wim and Tonny Koersen.

Some more pictures

Four loaves and three fishes!!!

Lekker bekjes that is.

even on the boat we have to do laundry sometime

Yesterday we went from Zwartsluis to Hasselt, and stayed there for the night. This morning we went back to Zwartsluis and checked out the new battery charger. Something wrong with the battery charger as it does nothing after connecting it to the electricity. So Monday Mastervolt ( the supplier) will have a new one here. At least all the wires are hooked up, and it will not take long to install the replacement. Hopefully it will work, and we will not have to run the generator anymore to charge the batteries.
