Preparing Alice for Cruising

3,5 years ago we bought Alice because I loved her unusual lines and tons of personality. Also the cost/kg was very good. We wanted a large, cheap and unusual boat and she fit the bill perfectly. However due to the low cost there was a lot to do. To keep track of renovations and cost I used a simplified KANBAN board, this is what it looks right now. All the post on the right are finished jobs.

After 26 intensive days Im happy to report we are still in Sweden. We are waiting for the second shot of the vaccine before we leave for the English channel.

For now we are cruising around the Koster archipelago. You can see where we are by downloading an AIS app and search for MMSI 265517600 or clicking here   Our children Molly and My are enjoying themself a lot in the beautiful weather Birds on a wire at Koster Super swing at Väderöarna The adult are also having a good time: Goodbye party with Marks colleagues at Lilla bommen
