Stormy screen printing


As there is a high pressure area above the Baltic countries and a big low pressure area around Svalbard, we are experiencing quite strong winds from the east at the moment in Skanör. Today, two boats have left the harbour (and have arrived safely at their destinations as far as we can see), but we feel better waiting the worst part out here. We will probably head out again on Sunday, but until then we have been enjoying some time to finish the last projects on board and organising our life here on Désirée a little.

But other than boat-projects, we luckily also have a lot of creative projects on board. And today we finally tried out a new technique for the first time – screen printing. We first practiced on a piece of fabric, but we quickly got confident enough to print on T-shirts (thanks again Emil and Signe for the pretty shirts). And also a huge thank you to Elena, who had the material to prepare the frame itself and let Paul borrow it 🙂

We think the shirts turned out very cool! It’s kind of dangerous, now we feel like printing the little logo all over the boat.

We are looking forward to more screen printing sessions and to a little less wind, so we can move further east in this new home of ours.

God vind!

Paul and Liv

      Ja, det har vist sig at være skønt allerede nu – østvinden vil ikke helt give slip endnu 🙂 men den ser ud til at skulle vende snart!

      Hey Twan! We followed you on MarineTraffic and it definitely looked like you guys were having a fun time – 7 knots on average as far as I remember? 🌬 Kendu seems like such a trustworthy boat! We have made it quite far to the east now and are soon ready to head to Bornholm.
