The show was on TV tonight, and they post on YouTube immediately after:

Skip to 22:55 to see the boat, or watch the whole episode to see the village where I live ;)

Tim.

Nice clip but not long enough about the boat.

I did not need the subtitles.

Likewise! I've been planning on painting my seats for years now ;) That, and my First Mate keeps threatening to make cushions!

Yes, not long enough - If I had known beforehand what kind of show it was, I could probably have got them to do an interview. Oh well, it still get exposure for my cruises! :)

Jacques, are you Flemish? We travelled there often when living in the UK, and the Flemish language and Afrikaans are remarkably similar, mostly spelling and grammar differences - pragtig!

Tim.

I am born in Belgium and still speak some Flemish.
Flemish is old Dutch and Afrikaans is derived from archaic Dutch, yes, it sound very much the same.
