Another wee boaty
Last week, I went to see a man about a boat, which was almost perfect except perhaps a wee bit too heavy. In the meantime, I had got to hear about another, smaller boat which might suit the job. It belongs to a friend of Astrid’s dad.
Unfortunately he lives in Gorinchem, which is a quite a long way from Amsterdam, by Dutch standards at least. The description I had of the thing was encouraging enough to make the trip though anyway.
There was a little bit of confusion when I rang him to say that I was on the way, since he thought that I was coming tomorrow – it is of course totally possible that I did say that… Thankfully this was not a problem.
And very glad I was that I made the trip, since the boat is absolutely perfect for my film, even better than the other one. If everything goes well, I hope to do the filming in a couple of weeks.
