A former Belgian Merchant Navy Master, I'm interested in Sailing-Ships, being a veteran of the International Tall-Ships'races. But I also wrote some books and monographies over local personalities (Peter-the-Hermit, Herleva or Arlette of Huy, St Jean-the-Lamb of Tihange, Chrodoara or St Ode of Amay,...) and ancient typical buildings of Hesbaye, the Belgian area where I live, that's not far from the city of Huy on the Meuse river. I brought and keep bringing contributions into the French Wikipedia and into our local Wiki-Huy. I started coming on Wikipedia in 2006. Another of my hobbies is photographying Nature and Animals.
