The Swan Story

2008.09.05
I was at the Hiswa boat show

looking up...

and down...

and around...

searching for nice sailing boats (to travel around the world with? ;-) )

And indeed we saw some pretty nice stuff

Like this one

And this one

And while my 'sailing mates' were showing their interest in very fast sporty competition boats by starting a conversation with a boat salesman...

I was interested in a beautiful swan passing by in the water

And we too - started a conversation

The swan told me about it's horrible youth as 'The Ugly Duckly'

And how the swan alsmost got killed

...but never gave up!

She grew up into this very happy...

and beautiful creature!

She even made an acting career by appearing in commercials for a Dutch airline company (http://vdsevents.nl//images/logoklm

And she's hoping to do some more acting. Maybe for a nice sailing boat commercial? Or maybe do an audition for a famous play by Tchaikovsky? Who knows :-)

nanske The swan shots are just beautiful! The boat is too, but I'd prefer it for real, not in a picture :-) I'll scan the Friesland picture today and send it to you.
