This year we dived with MS Dolfijn a former patrol ship of the Dutch customs from Lowestoft UK. We left Maassluis on Sunday morning and arrived Sunday evening in Lowestoft. This coast town is the most eastern city of the UK. When we arrived the English coast windmill (126 mtr) high Gulliver was seen first. The historical coast line was a fantastic sight. Later it proved to be very nice for a walk and a drink ;)) |

She is still a beauty, a fantastic ship with an incredible powerfull Stork 650+ Hp engine. It is known that the motor was placed first and the ship built around it. |

After we arrived late in Lowestoft the next morning we dived close to shore. Unfortunately visibility was < 30 cm and diving was stopped. We moved 30 miles from shore to the next wreck. The visibilty was much better and we decided to make more dives there. |

|
|
||||
|
Next Tuesday we dived 4 more dives on a unknown wreck. We managed to find a porthole, something to pee in and a rudder position indicator |
