We are still in Franeker, there were a few outstanding items to be do e by the shipyard, the most amusing one being changing the 'designation' of the boat. We have a 10.60 OK Valkvlet, 10.60 being the length overall in meters. But after painting the hull, they put 11.30 OK on the side of the boat. That's the next size up! So I remarked that Onbekommerd had grown during winter and they somewhat shamefacedly pulled the boat out of the water to change it. At the same time, we also changed to home port designation on the transom from Monnickendam to Franeker. We used to have the boat in Monnickendam during summer but since we don't have a fixed summer mooring anymore we decided to make Franeker the official home port: after all Onbekommerd was 'born' here and she spent last winter here.
We are very impressed with the job that was done: the new varnishing and paintwork is exquisite (the varnish looks like a French polished grand piano). And the technical work done is very professional too.
No pictures today, the weather is too poor to get a nice view of Onbekommerd, so that will have to wait another day.
As we are now fully set up (we rigged up the piano today and Lyn played for almost two hours), we plan to leave tomorrow. Destination probably Dokkum and then on to our beloved Schiermonnikoog. But plans may still change, we have no fixed plan or schedule for the time being.
