I like those sturdy old workboats very much!
There is so much character, history and much more about them…
One of my best moments at our voyages under sail was
back in maybe in 2008, at another festival at Willemstad, Netherlands.
Was invited to take a trip on a tugboat steamer, JAN DE SERKE – John The Strong – built in 1913. Also was allowed to steer JAN for a while through all that traffic. Fascinating!
All the best for you and MERLIN,
