¡Ola, Welcome!
Soon more information will be available on my pages. Currently I am still trying to find a nice layout!
Furthermore, it is not that easy to expose useful information, is it? Not being of the exhibitionistic type1,
I don’t see much use in putting my curriculum vitae on the net. Also it doesn’t make much sense to copy parts of
other (however interesting) websites. Lets not feed the redundancy beast too much, shall we?
So, what is there to put on my pages? First of all, for now, it doesn’t seem very likely to expect large amounts
of visitors. Thus, I could use my site as a convenient, private start page, containing my favourite links. I could
use it to show private pictures, only allowing subscribers to see them. Or, I could use it as my port folio, showing
potential customers (huh?) what I am capable of putting together –as far as websites are concerned...
Well, I’m not sure yet. Just visit this place every now and then and find out for yourself what I think is
worth exposing to the virtual world called the internet.
Us and Sailing
Me and my girlfriend want to live on a ship. By this we mean a klipper or
a tjalk. These are old Dutch barks. We know what it is
like to live on a ship, we are experienced sailers who had a carreer on the Bruine vloot2.
Ideally, the ship is ready to sail, measures about 25 meters (i.e. 82 feet) long and about 5 meters (i.e. 16½ feet)
wide. One of the absolutely biggest problems, however, is to find a place to more the ship. So, any
suggestions??
The picture on the left shows one of the ships I sailed on. It is a traditional, beautiful, and fast ’s-Gravenmoerdijkse klipperaak (1889)
--sorry, no english available here. And she really is a wonderful sailer. Unfortunately, she is the last of her kind
sailing the Dutch waters.
