Since I seem to be suffering from blog writing withdrawal I will fill you in on what is happening with MOKUM and crew here in Holland.
David Meijer is, as you know, safe and sound with wife Amanda and their children back in Canada.
Martin and Mary are lodging with friends in Wassenaar, near The Hague but spent yesterday being shown around Woudrichem, Loevestein and Heusden by Bas - JP's sister, Yolanda's, companion.
Jan Pieter, Erik and Rob (JP's other sister's husband)spent yesterday unloading the boat and motoring her over to a safer mooring in the harbour. The family here now has a year's supply of Kraft dinner and enough canned fish / tuna, oysters, mussels / to sink a ship!...here come the pun police again.
Erik is meeting Julie at the airport as we speak and Jan Pieter is off to the sail maker with the spinnaker for repairs.
This weekend MOKUM will make her way to Hoorn where Elmer lives and then on to Den Oever via the IJsselmeer (pron. "I sell" Lake).
A big Thank You to everyone who has posted comments of encouragement and congratulations to Mokum and her crew. Your input throughout the adventure was a great support not only to them but also to us, the "women behind the scenes",
Thank You from
Amanda, Julie, Mary and Lesley
