Empress Winter 20 21

We're a Dutch/Australian Sailing family with 2 girls. You'll see us preparing our 25 foot sailing boat Empress for her return to the waters of the Netherlands and beyond. We do boat works on the hard, getting her ready for splash day! You'll see us refining our skills, like baking, Home schooling, and knot-tying during the Corona virus lockdown. The girls get cabin fever and do some crazy indoor rollerblading, and celebrate Australia day. We enjoy Haarlem Life and take a visit to the Grote Markt to celebrate Christmas. Haarlem also has a record dump of snow and the girls go tabboganing on the new man made hill in our park where Anouk loses a milk tooth. We tried making the most of winter by ice-skating both indoors and out on natural ice in our local park. Covid 19 did'nt stop the girls from celebrating other dutch traditions such as Sinterklaas or Sint Maarten and their birthdays. Enjoy!
