Trip around North Holland
Last weekend I was invited to join Rob on his beautifull sailing yacht "Keetje S" for a trip in two days around the northern part of Holland.
The boat is a steel sturdy Koopmans 42 with a weight of 16 ton!!
On friday late in the afternoon we motered in the rain from Amsterdam to Ijmuiden.
Here we stayed the night in the fishing harbour because the marina in Ijmuiden was full with the Hiswa boatshow.
Saturday morning we left at the early hour 6.30 with a force 7 right in the back to Den Helder. What a save boat this is on a rough sea. Very kindly on the big waves while she is a longkeeler.
At 13.00 we were already at Den Oever and at 16.30 in the "Buishaven" at Enkhuizen.
A very fast ride.
The next day on sunday we had a force 6 right on the nose with a lot of rain.
Still she was ploughing merrily through the waves and we were in the harbour in Amsterdam at "happy hour" time.
All in all a wonderfull weekend on a very comfortable and save sailing boat.
