Our Easter school

Our Easter school

On coming back we find that Dick has already planned how to live the harbour. We need a bit of attention not to have the wind and current bounce us back on the pontoon. Captain Monk takes his time to make sure everybody has a clear idea of what they are supposed to do. He is a good teacher, so good that I can still remember his explanation and add it to the files here.

Two mast tjalk

Two mast tjalk

Because of our absolute inexperience we miss a great chance to make an interesting photograph here. In front of us lays a two mast tjalk whose hull is surprisingly short for that many masts. We could simply cross the bridge and get to photograph its bokkepoten while trying to guess how the mizzen mast is lowered.
