volvo ocean race in Rotterdam

Sunday's afternoon and (almost) the whole country is watching television to see the dutch team debut on the world cup. Well, almost, because the whole sailing nation is in and around Rotterdam to see the boats of the volvo ocean race.

The speed of our walk was that of a sunday afternoon. We met friends at the city beach, and somebody ordered a bottle of rose wine. Nice. The boats were at stroll distance. And then there were, the big, fast, powerful machines that crossed the ocean. The guys for whom this kind of things is just a daily thing. The people who know the sea. The ones that know as much as anyone. That much and that little.

We met Mariana, Heleen, Edwin. Later we came across Maurice and Martina. We were at the prize ceremony, celebrating and cheering ABN Amro one, Brasil and Pirates of the Caribbean for their prizes on sunday. Yes! inspiration for all sailors!

Margreet had to go. Tom and Katja were also strolling around and we met! almost the whole crew of Altopana in Rotterdam! (where were the others??)

Today, the VO 70's depart to Gotenburg, Sweden. Good luck!

If you're going to set about a long highway vacation along with your youngsters, load one or two cookie sheets. The bedding bring a smooth work surface less than shading books or to engage in greeting cards. When you have children, you can provide magnetic words and phone numbers for academic enjoyable.

Ensure that you enable your juice extractor relax and clear out added pulp if you are making a huge batch of fruit juice, especially if you are using tougher fruit. Juice machines are typically high-priced, and you may not desire to burn your juicer out by overworking it or clogging the juice machine. [url=http://www.ss12w12ws.info]Appenffk8dti[/url]

If you would like get high quality portraits, will not rely on your camera's built in flash. As an alternative you wish to have a look at investing in a softbox to use for exterior lights. In the event you can't afford this, look into getting an external flash system by using a diffuser for your personal video camera. [url=http://www.ss12w12ws.info]Scan2122344d[/url]
