Gert,
Welcome aboard! You've got a new group of boating buddies on this board, so keep us posted on your activities. The Barbara Jean is a fine example of a well-maintained classic, and Russ was an excellent steward of her. Tight lines!

Gert, sounds like a wonderful ride! I lived just outside of Eindhoven for about 8 months. Your country is full of friendly people, and I had a great time there. It was very much a learning experience for me! Enjoy your new boat! She will be very much at home!
Cruise Scheveningen in the summer time!!!! :)
