Recordist's notes

Two boats are going through the canal, called 'Albertkanaal' in dutch, 'canal Albert' in french. Because of the very near linguistic border, a lot of things are bilingual here, so the canal has two names. Because of the strong wind, there's a lot of waves. My pullover remembers it !
