Meeting Captain Mercer - Presenting him with WestFries Museum Map

                        I thought if I gave him the gift of a map we wouldn't get lost........

More personal photos , including First Fan Martin!

              Food & wine prep AND TASTING, flower arranging, hard work ,even if I'm only acting the part of Dutch crew....

Scrapbook of photos from the Bridge and the Engine Room

                                        I was a busy girl those days!

Time to jump ship. Yeah! Off to The Netherlands to meet and greet.

Catchin' a cab for Queen's Day. Do you believe it's been a year since the live telecast?
                                      Happy trails, 'til we meet again..........

Give me until the 25th for the scrapbook

      Please stay tuned for those of you on the blog in English until the 25th because I need to return to the States to enter my few personal photos that are on Dutch TV's website already...Think they are worth the wait!
      I will also be loading a couple of pictures of the wonderful art work that crew members have fashioned for me in the Balanese tradition of gift giving.  Enjoy!

Dreaming about Dutch Mariners in my future for sure!

I don't want to leave the ship! Let's meet her in Alaska next year!
