Yesterday Laura Dekker left the Netherlands to start her solo sail trip around the world (see also my other post) and tomorrow I’ll prepare my sail trip. OK, it’s not that spectacular as Laura’s sail trip is. But for me it’s also a special tour. My parents will visit me tomorrow. After one night staying at my house we’ll leave Amsterdam on Saturday to travel to Enkhuizen. There we’ll enter the Broedertrouw, a 2 mast sail ship which is 34 meter long and sailed by skipper Arno and sailor Saskia. We’ll be leaving Enkhuizen on Saturday and will return to Enkhuizen Saturday, 15th of august.
As far as I know we’ll visit Texel, Terscheeling, Vlieland, Harlingen and the Wadden Sea. Probably we’ll visit a couple more islands if the weather resp. the wind is on our side. And even if it’s not a world tour I’m very happy to sail again on a big ship. And what makes that tour such special is the fact that my parents also attend. During my sail tour I’ll not be able to use the internet. But I planed to write a little report every day. Maybe I’ll publish my notes here on this weblog after coming back to Amsterdam.
And for all of you who wants to know on which ship I’m going to sail, here are some links:
