Recordist's notes

Two boats are passing on the Albert canal. The first one is small and slow. The second one is big and makes big waves. It's the Duchesse from Zwijndrecht. IMO number of this boat is 244660540 and it's an oil tanker. If you be very very careful hearing this second boat, you will hear, in the cabin, the small dog who hates me !! Poor driver ;-)
