This is the first post I am reading from you in at least week. I have been AWOL for the last couple of days I think I missed some of your progress.
First things first............. the pictures look amazing my man! Reminds me of the pirates of the Caribbean. I know the ships were completely different but I can't stop my mind from wondering in fantasy :-)
Frankly I have never followed a somebodies journey on sea before. Its really a unique experience to notice things that are completely logical but would never cross my mind in million years. For example:
This quay is really meant for bigger ships, meaning that there are no service offers for smaller boat and quite expensive harbour fee.
Its logical and comparable to a lot of other situations on land but at the end of the day, a guy who hasn't traveled on sea before really doesn't have a perspective to think that this kind of a problem might come across when you harbor your ship.
The height of the quay can also be inconvenient for smaller boats. Our boat is not that small though, but still ... I feel more comfortable with lower quays. Another thing is that there is no breakwater shelter, and the traffic does cause quite some waves, enough to make some discomfort for us, but too small waves to affect bigger ships.
