MS Hornblower
The Hornblower is my new project: an Groningse snik from 1903.
 
MJ Escapade
In November 2010 I bought a bakdekkruiser. She was sold in 2011.
MS Frantsis
The Frantsis is a beurtschip. We (a neighbour and me) bought her in May 2010 as a small hobby project. I discontinued the project in 2011.

January 2012

22nd January 2012: Engine

It had been a while since I last ran the engine. I found it to become time, so I turned the key and ran the engine for an hour.

27th January 2012: Yard

I had a meeting at the yard for my vessel. I wanted to discuss the price. I was surpised to see that in five years time, the price has gone up a lot! I need to go anyway, so I have no other choice...
