First time I saw the Belem was in the early eighties.
So we have a long story together.
In those times, the boat was almost a ruin, ready to be destroyed.
But a famous french bank decided to save it, and now, look at it!
I visited the Belem in many harbours, saw its revival through the years.
Which explains why I have this feeling,
of seeing an old friend.
If having a hug with a boat was possible,
I would have the Belem in my arms!
