    Wanna help? There's a mini-keg of beer in it for ya! lol

    Nah, the marina hired a crane to get all the boats on the dry..It's just that I have very fond childhood memories of this boat, and to see it handled by folks I don't even know gives me the creeps.

    On a positive note, it gives me the chance to have a very good look at the hull. With my mother's health deteriorating, my father hasn't exactly kept up with regular maintenance. Might give me something to get my mind of off things.

    Later a group/club started (this is before the internet), sort of folks living the Gor lifestyle. With women as the sexslave of the males.

    Uploaded with ImageShack.us Boris cover where the woman will be branded/owned.^

    Well, we do thank our existence as a country to it!

    When you wake up, you should look at this: http://www.moonen.com/

    It's where VERY rich Dutch folks get their yachts. At least one was built for our royal family. Once was on one that belonged to a client of my dad..Thing had more luxury than most four-star hotels.

    She sure is a beauty, isn't she?

    I do find it funny the The Hague PC squad insist on calling the Zeven Provinciën Class frigates, while they are clearly destroyers. lol

    Euphemisms can be stealthy but, I guess you think, that is not what they are saying.

    Those were supposed to be armed with ICBMs..Made quite a lot of politicians piss themselves, so it didn't happen. Still, a fine example of Dutch ship-building.
