9th May 2019 – We went to the annual expo in Gorinchem, a nice event where you learn all the new evolutions in shipping and equipment. It is also the ideal place for networking. Outside the building, a group of ship model owners were giving an explanation on their hobby and their models. There was a very nice model looking like Tordino…
4th May 2019 – I’ve been visiting a lot of maritime museums. One on my list I hadn’t done was the museum in Vlissingen. Certainly worth a visit. I would also recommend visiting the kazematten. There is a separate museum located in these old buildings.
3rd May 2019 – Erfgoedddag has just passed or we need to focus on another event that is coming. It are busy times aboard. Last week I spent some time driving around to get some new stuff for the Museum.
1st May 2019 – I went to Lauwersoog in the Netherlands for a special reason. The Aquarel was at the yard by her new owners. She is being fully restored and repainted. A job I’ve never done. The owners managed last year to get the engine running. Now it was time to get a new survey.
I have a lot of respect for the current owners and what they have realised in such a short period.
