Dudes,
Alemaal van haarte dank!
I made my appointment with the dude that was trying to sell my bar...

Mikel told him that he sees salt-water erosion, and salt dried up on the bar, and the sand in the bar... and then the young guy said that "ooh yeah... this friend of his tried it out on the beach" ...
Anyway... Mikel then went on to say that he thought that this bar was found on the beach, and now this youg guy was trying to sell it online to make some quick cash... and that I was the guy that was missing the bar...
The dude blinked twice, and said... Yes, thats the way it is... and please take the bar.
Anyway... Just wanted to thank Edwin for giving me a call and alerting me to this guy on marktplaats... I would have perhaps lost it if it wasn't for you!
ThanX to all the kiters out there too that are honest! Its really good to see how close we all are in Holland!!!
Keep kiting!!!
