Don Quichote del mar - By Captain Andreas
by the Crew of Tres Hombres on 05/17/13
If I would have had a great spear I would have struck down a windmill today. One windmill, on the end of a huge field, closed the entrance into the Knock Deep and we had to tack in between the South cardinal and the windmill. Henk came just out of the galley with 2 pots of tea and a great cake made of old porridge, when I put some orders for an immediate tack on him….
Since today I am a fierce windmill opponent and that from heart. There are places and uses for them which I really appreciate, like on the davits of our ship or on the breakwater of Oostende harbor, direct use without complete destruction of the landscape or blocking sailing ship traffic on open waters. Or like the great windmills used in Holland as grain mills or water pumps where people used to live in, where the sheets were manned by hand and the impact on the landscape was a beautiful one.

Within 24 hours I had boarded a coach to the Cornwall gathering up Alex, Jamie and Leo to join the adventure. We joined the good ship Tres Hombres in Charlestown, a stones throw from St Austell. The ship was anchored just outside of the harbour. We met Andreas, the current Captain and one the 3 -hombres-, in the harbour bar and immediately swapped tales and stories of the Caribbean, rum trade and history of the ship. Although we had not met before, it instantly felt like we were old friends..........................>> Read more
