20th September 2022 – A not so often seen pleasure craft registered in Poland. The barge Csavargo passed by at lunch time.
11th September 2022 – It was a big success. A good amount of people came to see Tordino. Like every year many people who didn’t book tried to get in as well. This year, we tried to allow most of them to get to see the museum aboard Tordino.
8th September 2022 – The luxe motor Fryslan moved by.
7th September 2022 – We started scanning postcards again. Around 200 new cards will be added to our Library.
29th August 2022 – While driving home I noticed a friend sailing along with his commercial barge.
27th August 2022 – De Pijl, a beautiful Luxe motor came from Nieuwpoort.
27th August 2022 – I had two major groups visiting Tordino this afternoon…
24th August 2022 – I took some time, in between converting our place, to work aboard Tordino. I did some scanning and put some books in the right shelves. It was slightly to warm to work, but It felt good to do at least something aboard…
20th August 2022 – They are talking about reducing the locks to safe water. This means less boats will be passing. I ws lucky to spot an classic English yacht.
11th August 2022 – Between every sheet of the wheelhouse roof, there is a wooden gutter. They are still fine, but not to last another 100 years. I left enough space between the sheets and the gutter to slide an aluminium gutter in between. If it works, the rain water should no longer touch the wood. Let’s hope, since they are speaking about heavy rain next week….
11th August 2022 – Since I was a child, I’ve always known this ship to be in the port of Ostend. They towed it away and it will be taken out of the water in the next couple of days. I don’t know if many people will notice the ship is gone. It is believed to be an old Mickey, an English minesweeper from during the second World War.
10th August 2022 – I noticed in between several other yachts a special looking riveted ship, a kind of bakdekkruiser.
9th August 2022 – The tjalk Pascal passed by
8th August 2022 – We received a model of a houten waal from an skipper’s wife today. It is a nice addition to our collection!
3rd August 2022 – A nice looking luxe motor moved from Bruges to Ostend. I had a chance to take some pictures.
