16-17...8...2014: ENKHUIZEN,
Nederlands...After a quiet sailing trought Van Harixma channel we got to Isselmeer with lot of wind over 30 knots. After siling with hole main sail and full Genoa for few hours, in the afternoon we had to reef the sails...youngest crew member had to strugle with the hitting and dancing ropes... Ropes gained Kati giving her some funny bruces in her hips...also some "black" fingers...wile Big Captain and his steerman were shouting orders from astern... Finally we got to Enkhuizen harbour where rock and roll band were playing loudly in the famous summer festival...and the pontoons were full of fancy racing boats preparing them selfs for the next day... Half dead old crew went to relax and get more extra energy to the latest open kebab restaurant... "Gregorios Greeck"...just few beers were enough this night... Next day fixing day...we changed genoa for a smaller sail for heavy weather and checked the right function of the reef sistem... We stayed in port because of a storm advice, beaufort 6-7... hopping good winds for tomorrow.
