Thanks again for more pictures. I really enjoy your posts. Sitting at my desk in a cubical far from water they are really refreshing. Thanks again, keep the pictures coming.

well some more...?

The crowded harbour. Take a look at the red-brick building between the two dark masts of the barge - that's were I rented rooms for my newly founded agency with a big window towards the harbour.

I was surprised that the Museum Boatyard also did some repairs on canoos.

This dutch flat-bottom boat was used a petrol-ship in Hamburg harbour for years until the owner discovered her, bought her and put her back to sailing.

Martin, great pictures of a wonderful event. A question: when will this event be run next year? There is a possibility (maybe even a probability) that I will be in northern Germany (around Essen) next May and June. I would love to come and spectate, and maybe even sneak aboard one of those beautiful working boats.

Cheers. Mickey Lake

[martin schulz]

No problem at all Mickey smile.gif

The RumRegatta is always at the weekend following Accension Day. Unfortunately I don't know which day that will be next year.

If you come I will take you with me or organize another (bigger, more impressive) boat for you to sail on. :D

This invitation is for everybody who want's to come!!!

I think there're two kinds of pride: the self pride of the 7 deadly sins type; and then the pride in having done a good job. You folks have done a good job. Maybe we need a new word for it? Appreciation?
