I’m still trying with Heineken. I’m sure they’re just about to send me that free beer. Please see here, here, here, and here.
Somebody from Heineken must surely spot one of my posts sooner or later?

The Tug
Many years ago I worked on deep sea salvage tugs and, since then, I’ve always had a soft spot for tugs. The second image shows the tug Statesman, the first tug I went to sea on in 1972 (this makes me feel VERY old!). The radio callsign of the statesman was 6ZQS (Liberian) but was changed to GSAA when the Statesman became registered in Britain (something to do with the Cod War!). The front of the Statesman looked like one of those expensive ocean-going yachts.

We put Lucie on the market in 2017 but then decided to spend another year in Holland (hard to leave such a wonderful place). Â Now the time for us to leave has come around and we have now put Lucie on the market again. Â If you like the idea of living a wonderful life on the waterways of Europe, then please click here.
