33 MAKE MY DAY- Pimping Hermann & saying farewell

We sailed back to our own harbor “Schokkerstrand” with some stops in Marken/Volendam and in Enkhuizen At ‘Schokkerstrand’ our friend, Grieta came by, to pimp Hermann(our dinghy). The next day the kids and grandchildren came there to spend some time with us. After that lovely weekend, it was time to go back to Amsterdam to get our last vaccinations. Rented a car for a weekend and it was time to see family and friends before we untie the lines. After 6 years dreaming, doing a lot of work & preparations, it is finally time to leave. Many emotions in this period, Sad to leave family and friends behind. Scared of not knowing what will come. How will our girl / our home handle in rough seas? Did we do enough preparations? But most of all very excited to go. Thanks to Grieta for the unmistakable and easily recognizable artwork. It is not only a work of art but also a theft deterrent. Thanks also to Jules Smith from M/Y JuStRo for the departure clip. You and Nick are great friends. Music by Troy and Paula Haag.
