Some photos from the past days after passing Kiel Canal


Our Yankee cut genoa

Some nice gaff riggs of Dutch sailing scooners

In Zeebrugge, Belgium
We have been sailing with full reefed main and our Atlantic Yankee cut genoa heavily reefed. Rain, rain, rain like the Doors song.  Winds up to 50 knots +.



This thunderstorm catched us when sailing towards Goeree in Holland. We just took our sails down when starting to approach the harbour of Stellendam. Our boat leaned 30 degrees with the mast. The waves grew up till 3m on shallow water. 


 Waiting for the weather in Brugge one day. Kati took her spiritual hour in the churc.

Our start at Ijmuiden after we got the delivery of te forgotten maps to our Garmin plotter. we came all the way to here with old charts and a vintage Garmin plotter model 275 c. Damn companies never brought us the maps.


This beautiful Swan 36 classic yacht from the past. The on where it all started with Swan boats.
