The small town Tholen (where I live) organises every two years "The Thoolse Havendagen"with all kind of festivities.
Because of Corona this even was already two times postponed.
This year the event was there again with all kind of attractions and also with a big militairy camp to give visiters a look inside the military life in WW2 equipment and vehicles from this period.
Thursday and friday evening there were tours organised over the island.
Some well known artists performed in the evening.
Static shows were there and historic vessels.
I was there with my GPA friends Leo, Wibo and Roy, to give the public a chance to experiance a trip in a Ford GPA.
In all modesty I can say that the four of us where one of the biggest succes of this event.
From ten o 'clock untill 17.00.hrs people where waiting for more than an hour to sail with us four.
If we had decided to go on, I am shure this waiting row was there untill 22.00.hrs.
People where so excited and enthousiastic.
First Time in my shed three Ford GPA's were stalled
My friends camped at my place, and because we had such a great weather, we, Leo, Wibo and myself went back on the water the next day, and I showed them the beautifull sailing area near my home.
We all enjoyed this weekend very much.
Thank you all guys, Mary-Ann and I think it was great ! sunny
Compliments for the organisers of these "Harbour days"
