I am a talkative seagull. Years ago a fishhook got caught in my beak. I landed on Hulda and let Ilhan Koman help me so I could start talking again. Since then I have often been visiting the old wooden vessel and I will continue during her long journey to Istanbul. I will regularly report what is happening onboard, from my birdie point of view.

Simit Malaga
Simit Diary
26/09/09 Costa del Sol (!!)
Long time no see, but I was at sea, (yea
yea si –mit) visiting some relatives, chasing fisherman’s boats, making a huge
fuss: check our video in Malaga Port!
Now it’s rainy and windy and rolly, while
Hulda, chugs along Spain’s overbuilt tourist/tomato coasts towards Almeria,
Cartagena and Ibiza. We picked up skipper Allan’s friend Toto - Torbjörn in
Malaga, where KK and AK spent the whole day onboard trying to help Mine answer
accountant-style questions for the Big Bosses to read during their week-ends...
Kemal T managed to visit town though, nice, and we managed to get a Spanish
internet modem so now we can send some news!
Today they had some hassle with the
black-water tanks because the full signal hadn’t lit, so they ran the noisy
generator on deck for a while and washed out the tanks with salt water. Oh
yes., still no return of our famous “screw generator” so still the temporary
replacement they bought us,
noisy and smelly.
Rain, roar and roll... rock on Hulda, I’m
going fishing!
