Friends of the Tecla

What are friends of the Tecla!

A boat also needs friends, that sometimes lend a helping hand or put their talents at work do give that little nod in the back. To thank those who have helped us in and around the Tecla in a proper way, we have constructed the friends of the Tecla.

Who are the friends of the Tecla

Our very first Tecla friend was Petra. We have known Petra for a very long time en have been through a great deal together. Her very first introduction as friend of the Tecla was her generous donation of nautical shiny things (lamps, hooks and holders) and our wooden mermaid. Petra is also active for the Tecla with refreshing ideas and her becoming smile. Want to know more about the nautical shiny things? Check out Formosa

Then there are Matheus and Monique. Their first acquaintance with the Tecla was during our cleaning weekend in the start of the year. They out did themselves in cleaning with bleach and sandpaper. Also they are our delivers in biological meat and vegetables. Want to know more about the farm? Check out Wolfskuil . Matheus and Monique will be moving to Ireland this winter, where we hope to see them as often as possible.

Neil is our rock in the wild river called digital world. Without him this site would never have existed! And still, after all our calls and emails, he works all-nighters. Do you like what you see and want to know more about his work? You can email him on Eolus

Pieter and Saskia always help us to get the picture, in a lot of ways. Pieter has taken our picture most of all the people we know, and we thank him for that! You will be able to some of his work on this website soon.

Not long ago the crew of the Swan fan Makkum has helped us with some great things. We would especially like to thank Jurgens as our deliverer in great ideas and manpower, Greetje as our working power and Willem for making these things possible!

Last but not least our family, not only for moral support during tough times, but also for helping during our cleaning weekend.

Friendships

Friendships are based on give and take relationships. What we give back to the friends of the Tecla is that they are always welcome on board to visit and depending on work and effort, we invite them to come and sail with us. When ever, where ever.
