Lady B

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

Leo Tolstoy

 

Welcome to Lady B Sail, a website about living in a sailboat, tours, outdoor life, etc.  We hope you find something useful and interesting, and invite you to leave us your comments in our guestbook.

We will be posting stories from the sea, from the mountain,and from high up in the sky, about sailing, paragliding, food, music,diving...  Laughing


We live in the boat the whole year:  Luna, our Portuguese Water Dog, Kamilla, and Ana.  At the moment we are stationed in Bergen, practicing outin the fjords with Lady B, an IW 40 from 1983, designed by Sparkman and Stephens and built in Sweden at IW Varvet.

Virus herjer i Ladyb..

Huff og huff,Embarassed først var det jeg som fikk det ukjente voldelige viruset, jeg er nå på min femte dag, men føler meg nå heldigvis mye bedre. Det starter med kvalme så litt oppkast så litt diare og ikke minst produksjon av usedvanlige store mengder av gass.. Da er det herlig å bo i båt dereWink Men jammen overlever vi ikke dette også, selv om jeg må inrømme at jeg hadde mine tvil.... Nå er det Ana som koser seg med viruset, mens jeg og Luna har sikret oss med en flaske X-it som vi fant i båten, i nøden spiser fanden fluer... eller noe såntWink Ellers så stormer det ute og.

Snow, snow... all is white and dark. Lady B is warm and cozy inside, and cold and slippery outside. Luna, however, is veeery happy: she loves the snow.

Survival Suit Drill

We found 2 suits that came with the boat, produced in 93, but they looked like new.

After trying them on, they seem to be in a very good condition. They just need some adjustment, grease in the zippers, and some regular maintenance. It's very important that the safety equipment  functions when you realy need it to.Laughing

Circumnavigation Dreams
Written by Ana Sanchez Laws   
Friday, 07 November 2008

It's starting to get darker and darker, winter is here to stay for a couple of months. We've been dreaming of sailing away for a long time now, and Lady B is almost ready for it (she has new sails, a wind generator, and we have done lots of big and small jobs on her this year). Are we ready?

I am almost done with my studies, and Kamilla is about to start on a new career... For the moment, a circumnavigation may be a bit far away, but going to the Northern coast of Spain and France in the summer is likely, and doing another trip to Midsund now in the winter is certain. Besides, we also have to think about Luna. In the beginning, we want to take her only around EU countries so that she doesn't have any problems coming back to Norway.

I am really looking forward to these trips, it has been long enough amongst books. It's time to live!!!!
