Thanks for the link Bendt...I checked it out & it was most interesting...I hope the girls have made something of the career move. (The Windows translation was not too good, but I got the main points of the story!)
I'm still doing the Lotto of course. Actually, the cost of the fuel to get such a ship from Europe to here in South America could well outweigh the purchase price!
If I did win such a great amount, I would not waste it on a rich-man's play-thing yacht!
It would at least have to make enough money to run itself. And so, entertain me.
Again, Thanks for sharing. I look forward to your next uploads.
Kind regards: Steve.

Hello again Steve, I can understand you doubt with that girl students, but here is a link to prove it, the text is unfortunately only in Danish but the pictures prove it :-))
http://www.seaman.dk/nyheder/monsunen.html

I can understand your interest in these ships, there is an atmosphere of those which I also appreciate, modern yachts are cold and sterile ..
I do not think you have to offer much more than scrap price in order to become the owner of such a coaster :-)

Thank you very much for your interest in my pictures, and I wish for you that you get lucky with your lotto ticket.

Best Regards
Bendt

Hi Bendt..
Thanks for that "inside information".. Maritime Students...Mmmm.Girls.OK. I understand.
Seriously, thanks again Bendt for these superb 'last moments' kind of photos.
Like many, I play the Lotto...my dream is to win enough to buy a small ship such as this.
(Not interested in the so-called "Super Yachts" they leave me cold.....)
Maybe not this one, alas...too late...but something similar perhaps...I look at the engine of this fine little vessel... & I could weep for the waste of it all. So,so much wasted.
Your photos depress me a little Bendt, but I also love to see these fine little workhorses.
Keep them coming on-line....Thank You & Best Regards,
Steve.

Hi Patagualino,yes a nice little ship with a well equipped wheelhouse .. on the speaker, there was previously girls on board as maritime students, they probably could not do without to hear something disco :-))

Best Regards
Bendt

What a well installed/maintained wheelhouse: Stunning!
Is that not a Hi-Fi speaker in the corner? Let's get ready to Rock & Roll!
Super little ship....
