Richard his memories

18 May 2020

Richard has been our ship’s cook on board of the OOSTERSCHELDE since 2016. He has already provided the (guest) crew with food and drinks on almost 70 voyages. He will share his favorite moments on board of the OOSTERSCHELDE with us.

“I do not necessarily have a favourite memory or a favourite voyage when I look back at the voyages I have made. They all have something unique. Sometimes it is the destination and other times it is the guest crew that makes the voyage special.

I always enjoy our winter sun trips to Cape Verde very much. The good climate and the beautiful nature never get boring. I like to do my shopping here at the local markets. The food is deliciously fresh and you get a bond with the locals. It is very nice to see each other again the next year.

I also enjoy the mile makers. Together at the sea for a long time without telephones or other contact with the outside world. During these trips we are really together on board and have good conversations. That way you get to know the guests and your colleagues really well.

I have thought hard about special trips. This definitely includes the trips we made last year in Norway. It was very unfortunate that we could not sail but what a beautiful nature there was. I really enjoyed what I saw around me.

In the future, I hope to make some nice trips aboard the OOSTERSCHELDE and to share experience this with you!”
