    Indeed ;). You can in the morning see who comes to the tea in the afternoon because it is very flat ;)

    Thanks for posting those great pics of your trip. It's always nice to see where other boaters around the world enjoy their time on the water.

    Thanks for the wonderful photos.
    What is the make of the boat in image 4?
    It seems capable of more than just lake sailing.
    Cheers

    Its called in dutch a "Platbodem" .......meaning literally flat bottom boat.

    It has no keel so it can easily lay on a sandbank without damaging the bottom.

    These little ships were used for fishing and transporting goods in shallow waters.

    The Dutch Queen has on called the "De Groene draeck"

    A few more to enjoy.
    I passed the new Mulder Shipyard, but nothing was there to see.

    So beautiful! Thanks for posting!!

    And just like Fort Lauderdale, a few more feet of water from a storm surge or the polar ice cap melting and we are all underwater living on those gorgeous floats!!

    Nice pics! I realize something with about 3 or 4 of the boats you shot...the rub rail is out of rope? or they are decorated in the rope look?

    A lot of Dutch builders use rope rails.
    Its a kind of nostalgic look, but it does really have a function.

    I think it is on OceAnco's "Nirvana" wrapping around the stern platform...I can't remember if I have the right yacht but I know I have seen it on one of the more recent OceAncos.

    I made a little video of my trip yesterday.
    I am sorry but you can't view it on mobile devices, because apparently i used a copyright song.(soundtrack out of Africa)
    I still hope you will like it.

    Oh what a wonderful video, there is nothing more beautiful than people out on the water enjoying their boats and good company.

    Thanks for sharing such lovely scenery!

    And don't worry about the sound track, I closed my ears!!

    On the Dutch cruisers and trawlers that I have sold, the rope is decorative only although it is rather sturdy. Using the rope (sometimes plastic) as a rubrail can be expensive. Nonetheless, aesthetics trump practicality.
