An exceptional day!

Today i went to Oceanco believing there was the casco for the newest Oceanco, but at my arrival; no casco
I walked around there a bit and i came to talk with a gentleman who told me that the Brienenoordbridge (about the most important bridge in Holland...) had electronic problems and the hull got stuck there, so, i drove to Roterdam, couldnt find it, went back to Alblasserdam and much to my surprise on the horizon Amevi pulled out of the harbour which meant the new hull was arriving(still didnt see her).

You dont just pull out with a ship like this, tugs are used and the harbour(Rijkswaterstaat) sends a ship to control traffic

The yellow boat btw is the harbourship

pitty i can't post fullsize though..

Unlike my last serie, i actually had beautiful weather this time

And then, much to my surprise, the harbour boat comes in my direction, out comes the gentleman i talked to before, and takes me aboard because i am taking pictures against the sun!

Very observing people these captains

Still, amazing luck and fantastic help; they keep asking me or the boat isn't to close or to far away from the ship i'm making pictures of, circle around the Amevi and 703; absolutely the best team one can wish for!

Thanks RWS 16!
