Hello Karel,

Great video! 8)
I have also been to the Lac du St. Croix! But that was many years ago...

I still owe you the Caravelle Cup! It's sitting in my attic, but as you won the race on the Veerse Meer you are the rightful owner.
Maybe we should arrange for another boat meeting?!
Greets, Leon Steyns.

Either Karel or Leon (both CV16 sailors) had shipped to Australia for awhile, work related... :) I don't recall which, hence, confused... :lol:

Well now I'm confused too because I saw Karel and his family on the BUUT in France :doh:

Yep, It was me... :P

I took my family to work and live Down Under for a little over a year... but now we're back in the low lands!

Your Measure of Faith has leaped off the scale a while ago, you know. After finishing the tabernacle, you'll be allowed one sail (to go under your low bridge) and then she'll need to be handed over to the Smithsonian! 8O

:lol:

yeah, right... they could hang it from the ceiling on a mobile with the Saturn V booster. They'd probably balance. :lol:

Now, how can I get her over there to be the commitee boat for your match race with Karel? After I finish painting? 8)

Silly boy. Sail her to europe. As I recall there is an organized flotilla of small boats that cross the atlantic every year.

I found nothing of this “flotilla” of boats crossing every year. Please give us more information. I have an old 12’ dingy someone is welcome to cross in. I’ll pick it up when you arrive. Maybe we could organize a Bateau crossing!
