Hi Doug
Ik hoop dat dit helpt en met vriendelijke groeten
Dutch is such an interesting language. Sometimes it's so close to English that one can read it directly!
If you can't make out the above, it says, I believe, "I hope that this helps and with friendly greetings--"
Your translations of the Dutch sentence is really good.
bill from 169 west , 19 south. (where the hell is that?).
Are you on Diego Garcia, or on a ship? (I didn't look at a map, just took a SWAG.
Sorry to say but the world is just not all american and no I'm not on a ship. I live in Niue, a small island in the South pacific in a triangle with Samoa , Tonga and the Cook Islands. ( only 1400 people live here.) I'm glad you took some interest in this, spread the word and maybe someone will come here for a holiday. Greetings Bill
