Hi Luc
I agree with all of your comments and suggestions. Especially since the video you pointed out is again filmed in miserable weather...:-) and now even the coffee shops are off limits for non-members! Reminds me of Oklahoma where you had to buy a membership to get served a decent drink.
Thank you for pointing out the re-designed web site of Blind Date which is very nice.

> Well, Heinrich, as far as I know there is only one Harryproa in the low lands. As it does not look like the weather will be improving soon you will wish you were sailing a Harryproa instead. With this weather no camera man would stick his head out for outside shots. Nol & Jan are probably born waterproof as descendants of generations of seafaring peoples. For all the other aspiring Harryproa captains sailing outside Australia's sunny coasts I would advise considering some permanent protection against the worst weather elements ;-)

Nice video though. However some close ups on the gear installed or a camera mounted on some outside pole or shots from a tender would be even nicer. We probably all look for more info than spray flying from the bow. It must be that everybody stepping onto a Harryproa is immediately so much puzzled and excited that he completely forgets us poor souls daring for more info :-)
