Having just come off the Noordam, my understanding is that Captain Pieter Bos is retiring at the end of March. He will be missed with his constant reminders to "wash your hands"!

Hello Tony,

 

No doubt John will answer you, but as far as Captain Turner said when we were on Volendam, he would do another two deployments and than he would retire.

Anyone have an idea of who the Captain and CD will be on the Veendam?

Traveling April 11-18

 

Had a great crew, Captain, and CD on the Oosterdam in December.

Veendam will have Noel Driscoll

Anything interesting about him? Have not heard his name mentioned on the boards. Looks like he is there from April 9 - May 26

You probably already know this; it's a pic of "The Binnenhof" or "Inner Court", a complex of buildings in the city center of The Hague, next to the Hofvijver lake. It houses the meeting place of both houses of the States General of the Netherlands (the legislature of the Netherlands), as well as the Ministry of General Affairs and the office of the Prime Minister. Built primarily in the 13th century, the Gothic castle originally functioned as residence of the counts of Holland and became the political center of the Dutch Republic in 1584. It is counted among the Top 100 Dutch heritage sites. The Binnenhof is the oldest House of Parliament in the world still in use.
