Well they say Holland is flat, and having chugged through it for a day and a half I can confirm... it’s very flat. We arrived at the ‘Bunker Barge’ to fuel up, where we were fortunate that we could purchase some extra fuel drums for the journeys. So with over 800 litres of fuel, we were ready to go!
Holland to UK (2/3)
Scotty’s bed!!
1st Mate and The Boss
catching some winks
Skips on deck
(Heusden on the Maas)
The all important “ship food”
Filling the tanks
And some more!!
The lovely Boss
taking a break
Scotty takes the Bridge
Full steam ahead
The lovely First Mate
at the wheel
Skips’ turn
The Boss showing
how it’s done
The stress of it all
Moored up awhile
Tea Break
Crane, Rope, Bucket, Bridge
Taking in the view
The infinite bridge
It just keeps on going...
Sun over the bow
Nav light in silhouette
Setting over the river
Gone
Mooring up for a night
of chips and beer
Telling the boys how to do it!!
Baby’s put to bed for the night
The five sailors enjoying our final night of chips and beer
Injured Scotty leaves
on the big boat!!
