A trip up to World Ports Day in Rotterdam

After some humming and hawing Ritchie decided that since you only live once it was time to give Pollux a 10M motor vessel a trip. Departed Hell around 09:15 and arrived at the Haringvliet Hafen 13:30 with good tidal flow.

It was great to have a highly knowledgeable guide with Ritchie. He has lived a long time in the city plus he is interested in the history. Thanks man.
