Beautiful day

Gone fishing

Beauty's back

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!

Have you got one?
