Delfine Week 253: Doing nothing (mostly) A relaxed week in Gent with Ella, Inge and Gro as we try living on board Delfine for the first time after her refurbishment.
Delfine Week 252: Underway again Delfine finally gets underway. After a lot of hard work, we’re finally able to live aboard, kind of. Better than camping at any rate.

Delfine Week 249: Kitchen capers Lots of progress on furniture install, and now we wait for the next round of tradespeople to come and start finishing out the build.
Delfine Week 248: Fit-out starts Week 248. After a quiet start to the week with more painting, the fit-out commences and things leap forward.
Delfine Week 247: Moving day We move into our new apartment, continue working on the sanding and painting of Delfine as well as receiving some new furniture.
Delfine Week 246: Habemus nomen! For the record, Karina doesn't like my pun for "We have a name". Good progress this week finishing off parts of the external painting and sticking up the new names on Delfine...
Delfine Week 245: Stepping on up Our new stairs are in and we can use the hatch to enter and exit Delfine onto the guest deck.
Delfine Week 244: A tough job but someone has to do it... A week of food and exploration while Delfine continues to leap forward.
Delfine Week 243: Panels and palettes A fun and varied week, with everything from restaurant tasting, painting, sanding, priming and the first of the new colour palette up in the bathrooms.
Delfine Week 242: Bathroom bonanza Our first full week back on Delfine, it's full steam ahead as we complete the demolition and the building kicks up a gear into full swing.
Delfine Week 241: Farewell Matilda The sale of Matilda is completed, handover done and we head back to Belgium to start working on Delfine who has undergone some changes while we've been away.
Matilda Week 240: A pause in Greece We close a deal on the sale of Matilda and spend the week in the marina waiting for the handover to commence next week.
Matilda Week 239: Sea trials The sea trial is completed for Matilda and now the negotiations start to try and close a deal.
Delfine Week 238: Kalimera Greece! We get the wheelhouse back together on Delfine and head for Athens to launch Matilda ready for a sea trial next week.
Delfine Week 237: Grind, scrape, paint, sand, grind, paint... but the wheelhouse is back up We work hard to complete the wheelhouse while the weather is good.
Delfine Week 236: Here comes the sun We tear down the wheelhouse in order to repair and remake it, fixing the damage from the bridge collision last year as well as replacing the roof panels.
Delfine Week 235: Patching continues Lots of progress in patching holes inside and starting work on the wheelhouse.
Delfine Week 234: Console Construction Big steps forward with the console, patching the roof and we finally have some heating!
Delfine Week 233: More positive steps The windows are finally complete and we're putting more things together than we are taking them apart. Starting to pick up progress on fixing things!
Delfine Week 232: The hatch goes in The new hatch goes in, solar panels are underway and things are moving forwards again.
Delfine Week 231: No man's land The last three weeks have felt like we're "on the cusp." We're building toward something, ready to tip over the edge, but we're not quite there. Turning this project from destruction to creation is about as slow as turning all 27 metres
