    Great pictures Tim! Thanks for these…

  2. L D M Vale PORTUGAL says:

    Beautiful and colorful pictures. With these boats I would prefer being the boatswain than having to jump to the ships…

    Thanks for the comments guys, I was onboard the Cetus in Amsterdam we left the ship at the anchorage and got a lift from the pilots, it was a cool ride but a bit bumpy!

    A nice page I have found when searching for information about SWATH.

    Who can provide me with a list of naval architects within the European Communities Member States that can produce a feasibility study for a high-sea going fisheries research vessel?
