Olli Sukunimisson Posted August 14 Share #1 Posted August 14 Hello, gentlemen! Sorry I didn't notice this topic earlier, but now that I've found it, I didn’t want to ignore it. Some of us have already met—I'm the proud owner of Lady Nelson, a ship I was inspired to build mainly due to your posts. I'm not aiming to become a master like you (I've been working in the IT industry for the last 30 years, so my relationship with the offline world is a bit complicated), but I find a lot of pleasure in reading your stories and viewing photos of your beautiful ships. I'm a big fan of the Netherlands (esp. the House of Orange). Delft is the best place in the world, followed by Leiden, Katwijk aan Zee, and Maastricht. That's an axiom, so no arguments, please! However, if you don't love crowds and appreciate brutal Nordic beauty, living in Espoo is a bit more comfortable. I have great respect for your serious approach to history, naval technique, attention to detail, and the friendly atmosphere here. Thank you, gentlemen! And happy building! Glory to Ukraine, Karjala takaisin, Rule Britannia, God Bless America, Oranje boven and Polska strong!

SiriusVoyager Posted August 14 Share #2 Posted August 14 I am a big fan of the city of Leiden as I had a great visit there. I will also be visiting Finland in a few months and am really looking forward to that trip. Welcome to MSW!
