The visa issue might be solved :) (Patreon)

Hi Guys, 

We have made it safely to Scheveningen. Ava has an appointment with immigration in The Hague on Friday, so we'll stay put here at least until Saturday morning. It's a bit of a shame because the weather looks excellent for pushing on in the second half of next week, but I'm sure we'll get another chance. 

When we were checking out the marina on Google maps, we noticed a hardware store (a "Gamma" store) right in the marina! I've checked their website, and it looks like they have 12 mm Okoume plywood in small sheets in stock! We're heading over there to check it out in a few minutes. If it looks decent, then I might be able to build the settee table area next week. AND it looks like there is a marine store (https://vrolijk.nl/) in the marina too. I'll check it out first thing tomorrow morning! 

Next week I'd like to look into a potential issue with our VHF / AIS range. We might have a bad connection or something like that. I was chatting to a ferry on the way here, and he mentioned that there was a lot of static. When I installed the AIS, I checked the standing wave ratio, which looked fine, but that was six months ago. Maybe something has come loose or gotten wet. We'll see :) If we're not on Marinetrafic (based on AIS), you guys can still follow along here: https://share.garmin.com/saillife

Ava is giving me the signal! It's time to go to the hardware store and the glorious Christmas store ;)
