Watch: Belloujo III Sept 2023 Vlieland
April - September 2025 sailing the Northsea- Waddenzee Netherlands
April -September 2025 sailing on the Wadden Sea and North Sea.
Already planned several trips with pencil for 2025. Crew is welcome for a few days or a few weeks.
The plan for 2025, starting mid April, I will sail to the North sea-Waddenzee.
The Wadden islands as Texel, Vlieland, Terschelling & Ameland are on the agenda. Including a 'circumnavigation' of Noord Holland.
For example, a round trip North Holland is on the cards in late April and late May, a visit to the Marker Wadden Sea in early May and a week of Wadden Sea from Pentecost.
Do some walks over the islands, enjoy the holidays.
In principle I intent to anchor at night or stay in a port, no plans yet for night sailing. So the trip will be planned on day-sailing.
Some sailing will be combined with events of the Etap club, so with other boats as well.
The boat an 8m Etap is in good shape, and can in principle be sailed from the cockpit.
She has 3 beds, 2 in the front, so you will have your own space.
As a crew member, I expect you to participate in the sailing, keep the boat tidy and safe. If you have limited skills and are open to learn, we will get there. I can teach you.
If you are skilled? feel free to sail yourselves. If you can cook, there is a stove, feel free ;). I can also cook, so that will be sorted out as well.
Myself, I am 66 of age, fit, sailing since a was young, very familiar with the Duch waters, tend to be rather flexible, with a focus on safety, maybe a bit direct (as I am Dutch?) but with a good intent ;).
Interested to join? An extra hand is always welcome.
If you are a novice? Good opportunity to learn sailing.
If you are experienced? Always welcome, we can share knowledge and experiences.
Preferably we have contact in advance. So do not hesitate to contact me.
Best regards,
Joris
Fun day sailing at a lake in Holland
I went sailing with Joris for 1 day at the Loosdrechtse plassen, a lake near Amsterdam. We had a great day, lots of wind. His boat is small a fun to sail. Joris is a relaxed person who is willing to let you stear his boat and keeps calm, even in critical moments. Joris is very hospitable. After a day full of wind and sun he invited me to his home to have dinner together with his wife. We had a good time together!
