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!

;)

whenever you are on the other side of the great pond , you are more than welcome Marc !!!

very nice Gert, the kids look like they had a great time.
oh and by the way mark and I are twins, where he goes I go.

:) :):) :)

Gert

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)...

you are all welcome !!!, I only have to buy the WaterMachine to accomedate you all...........

Well there goes all the koek en zopie! :(

Gert,
Me and my family will be in Italy Next Sept 4th cruising the Amalfi coast on a private charter. If your going to be in the area, it would be nice to meet you.

Your better off with "Island Girl". Water Machine is just another bigger boat.

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 :-)

Koek and WHAT?!...

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)...

KOEK and ZOPIE !!

Bruce , I am planning to go to France and Italy again next year but I will be there in August....
To bad....
Gert , but you will be probly flying in through Amsterdam , you are always welcome for a stop over !!!

Gert

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 :-)

Now I get It ... Nu snap ik het !

Nice pictures. At least there's ONE nice looking boat…...
