Barge is officially owned by Jon and Di Rayner

Well, the new owners took the barge out of dry dock and down the canal. Money is in our bank account. I visited the barge yesterday and I was delighted.  The outside was 'touched up' with paint, and inside...  Di had a square coffee table in the middle of the living room, and she had changed the yellow sofa by using a 'throw rug' and new pillows.  It looked great.  They also already had their own pictures on the walls.  Overall, the ambiance was still warm and friendly and the barge has had a face-lift.

So we now well and truly have said good-bye to Zee Otter.  I have mixed feelings.  I will miss the life-style, but we are now planning new adventures around the world.  We are definitely going back to Brazil next year, as well as Argentina!

Next week we are driving to Boa, Spain to visit the Guggenheim museum.

The immediate problem, however,  is getting all of our stuff out of storage and back to Switzerland.

  2. Hi Judy- When we owned Zee Otter, we had a matching couch and 2 armchairs - guess they must have gotten changed out over the years. Wonder how much of our original furniture and equipment (TV, frig, stove, BOSE stereo, mini washer & spinner) lasted over the years. Pat Fowler, Bellows Falls VT
