Wow, now, those boats/yachts moored up there look like proper boats :lol: :thumbs:

Good stuff, I'd love to go to Rotterdam one day, I've seen a deal advertised in the paper for so many days in Rotterdam, at a good price too...Might consider going!

Love the "Ostara" - my kind of boat. Last had a trip on a Spido tour boat many years ago, haven't been on any trips since they started using mostly fully enclosed vessels - don't like taking pics though windows. :(

I'm off to Northern Holland on 1st April for a few days ship photography, so may have some pics when I get back (probably 100's  ;D )

If you're a ship fan, it is a fantastic place to go. Just drive up to the waterway, get out of the car, and watch the cargoships, ferries, tugs and tankers go by. Maassluis is a very nice place to go too, a nice town down the river from Rotterdam. A good place for the classic tug enthusiasts  :thumbs:

Great pictures Terry, hope you enjoy yourself when you get back to Rotterdam!

(Did you visit the POR  ;D )

Hi Nathan.

No, I went there to
(a) meet with Aad and his charming wife
(b) make a series of sound recordings while Dana went and bought most of Rotterdam
(c) visit friends at Vstep

Ran out of time...

I always stay right on the waterside on Willemskade. The Tulip Inn is a wonderful, friendly place. A never-ending series of vessels going past the windows. And the number 9 tram into the city.

Is the Pilots Cetus a catamaran pilot boat?

Not sure if you can describe it as a catamaran, but it's a SWATH which stands for Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull.

More info can be found here!

As far as I know, it just means it's the sixth one in their "fleet". I assume that there is a "1", "2" and so on as well.

Sorry I missed you on Monday. I had to dash off to sort something out.

Did you see the tugs performing outside in the evening? There were several of them going up, doing three-point turns at truly amazing speeds, and so on.
