Kerr Barging Blogs

We have spent a fair bit of time cruising in the South Pacific aboard our 33 years young 11.1metre yacht, Pastime of Sydney. We are now cruising through the canals and rivers of France on our old barge, "Anja", which was built in the North of the Netherlands in 1903. Anja was 110 years old in May 2013 and we celebrated with good French Champagne- but the boat did not get any! In 2014, for Anja's 111th, we took her back to where she was built in the North of the Netherlands.

Well, tonight I learned how to eat Moules (small black shellfish) the "French Way". "Moules et Frites" is a common dish in many parts of France and also Wallonia- the French speaking part of Belgium. Thank you Chantal et Christian and especially to Chantal for cooking so beautifully. I will pass on the eating knowledge to Penelope next week.

Today was all "inside work" on Anja because it was cold, nasty and wet outside. The Meteo prediction is for fine weather with almost zero chance of rain for the weekend so I hope to make good progress on outdoor activities which include a lot of sanding and painting.

In other good news, daughter Liz is back home from hospital in Guernsey and "mumpenny" is helping her and Noah as well as having lots of Noah cuddles.

All the best,

Dave

We are very fortunate in being able to spend summer in Australia then summer again

in Europe. We have six months (approximately) per annum on Anja, which is based in France.
