Dutch people who have their own company in Portugal are facing hard times because of the economic crisis.
That's also the case of Heleen Starink and Dirk Willem Gesink, the owners of a century-old Dutch three-master, the Leão Holandês. They organise day trips, mainly for businessmen, on the Tagus River in Lisbon. But nowadays, companies prefer to take their clients on a free town walk rather than to sail under the famous Vasco da Gama bridge.




















Economic crisis is definitely an unwelcome burden. Hope that captains bound to sink in this temporary situation will set sail once again.
