Good to see her again. She was once a regular sight in the nineties with hoppers bringing sea-dredged sand from Ijmuiden to where I live in Purmerend, along the Noord-Hollands Kanaal. This was a long-term charter to lay the ground for a large new housing extension on the western side of the town. I seem to remember she capsized in the lock at Ijmuiden on one occasion, which I thought at the time might be the end of her, but she soldiers on. I always thought her the handsomest of the tugs involved.
