Waiting for the results of the survey

We were wondering around town and we found 4 lions, ugly looking things, but in a funny way, they are guarding the bridge over the canal.



















Waiting for the results of the survey, we had a few days to do what we liked, so over the weekend we went sight seeing, first to Leeuwarden, where we  didn't stay long, then we went to Franeker, were we had dinner in a fish & chip shop, the dogs loved the chipshop, as they were given some fish treats, we chatted to the owners, and found out that the daughter of the owners was married to a Brummy, and had spent some time in the UK.

Sunday I went to Noorderzon to measure up some stuff, and borrow the kettle, so we could make tea in our room, we also spent some time at the port, as it was somewhere to go to get out of the hotel.

Monday I went down to see Paul the surveyer, to see if he needed anything, but he said he was OK, and then talked me through the results so far, he also made a suggestion that we allter the rudder to help the steering, which we are having done.

Tuesday was a day looking around town, again we ended up at the port for dinner, this time in a restaurant called T'wad, very nice place, and we sat there watching the sunset.



We liked the port area very much, it was always as it was always busy, and we both like to people watch.
Wednesday we just pottered around, taking the dogs to the beach for a run, meeting other dog owners, and some real nice dogs.


Thursday evening we went to Brunsmann Experts to collect the report, and have it explained to us Paul Brinsmann went through every part of the report, making sure to point out what were problems, and what was acceptable, we left knowing all the faults that Noorderzon had, Friday we were due to sign the deeds, but we needed to talk to Fikkers, to resolve some issues before we paid over our money, so I called them on friday morning to say we were coming to Gronergan that day to tell them that there was some issues that needed sorting out.



In the office of Fikkers, we were told that the vender will pay for the all the work to do with the propolsion, any welding below the waterline and also replace the the batteries.

From their we had to go to the Noterays office to sign a few forms, and then we just had to wait, until the work was all finished.

We then went back to SRF who had taken her out of the water for the inspection, as we have some work that we would like to be done, we walked round Noorderzon with Lorance and pointed out what needs to be done, and for him to quote on them.

Later that day we drove to Franeker to have a look round, we had lunch in a fish and chip shop, one of the owners ask about our dogs, and gave them some fish treats, Jill was talking to the lady, and she said that she had been married to a Brummy, and that she love yorkshire puddings, but could never get them to rise, so we gave her a few tips.

Then went back to the hotel.
