The Netherlands should end its 31 years of counter-drugs cooperation with the US in the Caribbean Sea. By illegally killing alleged drug traffickers, the US not only tarnishes its reputation, but also that of its partners in the Joint Interagency Task Force South. www.eanews.com/30-years-col...

This is one of the projects I am lookking forward to:
With installing the new (very big) Detroit Diesel 160 Hp 6 cylinder came a V drive to return the shaft back to the propellor. Next to the enormous reliable power Vagabond has now it also blocks the bilge. 1/2

One of the things I do with this unbound dog is that she is allowed to sleep at the footend of my brits, so she can bond some more to her keeper. She sometimes even hits the sack before I do.

For thursdaynight there is a storm coming over the Northsea with gusts up to 120 km/h. My friend asked wh I stay on board, because "things can break or boats can break lose". Quit frankly that is why I stay. 😀
And when I am in a harbour and all's solid I sleep soundly in these storms.

I should clean out the salon more often. One way or the other it's alway filled with stuff that originally lives somewhere else, but takes logies in the main hall. #boatlife

If I was to advice #princeAndrew I would recommend him to leave London and buy a small Island in the Carib to go and live and receive some friends now and then. O, wait... www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/w...

Et on souhaite aujourd'hui un joyeux anniversaire au mythique phare de la Jument d'Ouessant, allumé il y a 114 ans aujourd’hui, le 15 octobre 1911! 🎂

La Jument n'ayant plus de gardiens depuis 1991, c'est l'occasion de montrer une relève filmée en 1985: ⤵️

On Oct. 14, 1942, the SS Caribou was transporting 46 crew and 191 civilian and military passengers to Port aux Basques, Newfoundland.
Suddenly, the German submarine U-69 emerged and hit the ship with a torpedo. The sinking killed 137 people.
This is the story.
