Heading for Italy again!

Post by Gert van Leest »

Hi Guys , its been a while , kind of busy I guess...

This summer I transported the boat again to the south of France and had the best time ever again..
We went from Port Carolles to Allasio and all the nice places in between.

Gert can we discuss my adoption? I don't take up much room, love kids, my boat handling skills are good, i'm unafraid of hard work and I am handy with a wrench.

I speak fluent English when i'm sober so I could teach the kids a few new words.


Thanks for sharing, what a life!

What Marc did not tell you is that not sober he speaks the same language but not words you want the kids to learn.

Great pictures. It is really good to see how much the family enjoys the trips and we love the pictures.

If we're talking adoptions, I'd like to nominate myself… I can cook, I do a great apply pie, I'm a pretty good grease-monkey (mechanic) with lots of maritime experience and I have fluent Dutch (albeit with a somewhat unusual accent though I can do the "888 small belly stoves" faultlessly) in addition to other languages :-)

One drawback though, there's 7 of us… The Admiral, 2 boys (one of whom is now in our navy), 2 girls, myself and our Dutch Mastiff (otherwise known as a Dutch bulldog but more commonly known as a Pug)...

I think that by the time you accept all the adoption offers you'll need that gray painted USS Whatever that you're showing in the pics :-)

Needless to say, if anybody ever makes it to the east side of the Med, I'd love to meet you… And, we do have a guest unit that's not getting near enough use (that's an invitation in case the hint is too obtuse)...

Dat hadden we niet in Voorburg :-(

Het is ook zo'n 40 jaar terug dat ik in Nederland leefde :-)

For those who are wondering, the above is me exercising my Dutch :-)
