Nov. 10, 2007 - Floating Clogs

Welcome to those new members from the Dutch Classic Boat Show at Enkhuizen. We shared a stand with Seafair Milford Haven http://www.seafairhaven.org.uk/

It was a very modest show with the friendliest atmosphere. Why are the Dutch always so happy? Are they detirmined to sieze the day because tomorrow they may be under the North Sea? Come to think of it, everybody in Pin Mill always seems in a good mood too.

I think their traditional boats are an acquired taste. I'd like to have a go in one sometime. Sailing on the East Coast has produced the hithertoo unthinkable effect of finding Maurice Griffith's boats attractive. So maybe after sailing one on their hime waters I will learn to appreciate their design.
