Various pictures taken in Friesland during last season.
Picture 1 - the Skutsje of 'Drachten'overtaking us. It's amazing how fast
these ships go and how well the skippers are able to navigate in the
cramped Frysian waters.
Picture 2 - The Barracuda - as seen from my cockpit. Although it bears a
fearsome name, judging to the overall state,it's had it's best time. Close
up it's green from algea.
Picture 3 - Passing through the Spannenburg bridge on the PRinses Margriet
Kanaal with quite a lot of wind. The mirror almost capsized with the
strong winds. (while passing the bridge we were in the lee of some trees
luckily).
Picture 4 - Our Trintella berthed alongside a Hanse 315. Although in
length it's just 50 cm's difference, it's world aparts in terms of
beam,interior space, design, etc. I like this picture because it shows the
difference in design quite clealry, just looking at the bows. Although the
Hanse is quite nice (thoud out of my league) I prefer the Traditional
design of our Trintella.
Picture 5 - A well know site in the Netherlands : the Waterpoort
(Watergate) in Sneek. No watergate scandals here, just a nice town
dedicated to watersports.
Pictures 6 - Oops, off topic. A hot air balloon (airship?) that passed
overhead while we were on board. Happens quite often.
Anyway hope you enjoy,
Regards,
Jeroen
