Boat visit, scavenging Dutch man

On Culebra we hooked up with two other Dutch boats. One couple was on their way to Canada via Bermuda…. Hans had just spent 31 days to cross the Atlantic from the Canaries, all by himself. No wind. The other couple was a bit younger and this Dutchman had picked up his very nice American girlfriend on the island of Bermuda. He had a hobby. In my opinion this must be a very Dutch hobby. He had managed to equip large parts of his boat, build by himself, with pieces he had found on deserted boats or boatyards along the way. The boat was running on bio-diesel. He collected used cooking oil from restaurants along the way and had installed a self-made filtering system (starting with just a t-shirt) and created his own fuel on the boat. The collected oil was transported on to the boat on a canoe!!!
