To-day Pre - Sail IJmuiden starts. Hundreds of boats, ships and magnificant Tall-ships (Clipper Stad Amsterdam, Kruzenshtern Крузенштерн, Halve Maen, Belem) shall sail into the port of our proud municipality.  On Thursday every ship and boat shall sail to Amsterdam. My cousin Anton sails on the IJveer-ferry-boat. He owns the IJveer IV, that lies in het Spaarne. Two million visitors are expected to watch this greatest nautic event in the world.
