Saying Goodbye and Thank you.

To all our visitors who have to make our first year on the boat so memorable and enjoyable. Our adventure would not have been the same without our guests 

We are ever so grateful to all of you. Special thanks to Terry and Colleen who put up with the bad weather as we endeavoured to head south out of The Netherlands and head for France. It is you guys that made the start of our adventure an absolute joy.

So here are a collection of some of the people we met and friends who stayed on KIWI ROSE.  And thanks to others we met along the way but are not featured as we have no photos,  sorry.

  1. Hi there Max and Lucy,
    It's nice you enjoyed your first season in Holland and France so much!!
    You survived a number of tunnels and lots of locks.
    Keep going, people, happy sailing!!
