To all,
Invitation Wintermeeting Saturday 21th of March 2015 at Drachten
Our stretchgoal was to organize an extraordinary basic but cozy Wintermeeting at the historical Van der Werff shipwharf in Buitenstvallaat (close to Drachten).
Wharfboss Haiko is working there with his craftsmen on great maintenance -and restorationprojects of the Alcyone’s Caecilia, Harmonie and Majella.
Something unique nowadays or not?
That’s why we had some hope to meet, greet and eat there with all our friends of the Circle in a very special Alcyone-setting!
But -luckily for Haiko and the more’s the pity for us- both sheds are so completely filled off with ships, steel parts, masts and so on,
there really isn’t the possibility to create a smooth accommodation for us to have a pleasant dinnerbuffet there.
Of course we will visit the wharf and have a guided tour with a lot of interesting details about all the work they have done already and still have to do at
the Gunning-yachts. So don’t worry about that part, but for dinner we must change our plans and found already an other safety harbor for all our friends!
