Sure these sailors will know the Brest nautical event which takes place every two years. The next one will be Brest 2016.

More here

EDIT : Better link maybe, here's one about vessels involved in the event . Several Dutch vessels there. :nod:

By association of ideas, i'll never forget how impressed i was when i crossed Rotterdam, by night, on my way to Amsterdam. I was, for some reasons, on a kind of peripheral highway distributing the harbour, i was looking for Amsterdam and the only road signs i was able to see were : Rotterdam 1, Rotterdam 2, Rotterdam 3, Rotterdam 4, Rotterdam 5, Rotterdam ... WTH of a gigantic port

EDIT : One just have to consider this link : Rotterdam is 4th rank in the world, 1st in Europe and more than the addition of the 2nd, 3rth and 4rth European ports, which are Antwerpen, Hamburg and Amsterdam. Nothing less ...
