"We descend deeper into the Timca than we ever have before, put on earmuffs and follow Bas into the ship's heart beating with an infernal noise."

"We watch a few of the Filipino sailors working on painting, take advantage of the brief moment when the Internet works, read a bit, fall asleep in between."

"Good thing we brought our own bikes. Even in a small port like Hanko, it's a long walk before you even get out of the port area."

"Driving back into the port area is a little difficult. Because we drove out secretly, we don't have a code to open the entrance gate."

"On the bridge, Captain Paul and First Mate Joris are always happy to explain. For a highlight, the 60-year-old cook Auke..."

"We don't really get an idea of the size of the ship until we get to drag our luggage up there."
