The last day of our trip started at 07:00 with no wind in the marina.
But as soon as we were outside the marina on the green water of the IJsselmeer, we noticed a good and increasing wind form the South.
By the time we set our sails, the wind had increased to 14 knots, a very good wind to have full sails: mainsail and Genua.
During the day that wind would further increase and at a certain moment it reached 24 knots.
The sweet water form the IJsselmeer came over the front deck and washed all salt of the last weeks from the Boekanier. For the first time it was welcome.
It seamed the boat wanted to show us that it liked the sweet water better then salty, because it gave us the best speed of the whole period. We did touched 8,0 knots which is not bad for this kind of yachts.
At 14:00 PM we landed the Boekanier in her own berth at the Flevo Marina and in stead of the usual steigerborrel we treated ourselves on a nice lunch.
Then we realized that the trip was over. This was the end station and all that was left was cleaning and packing.
Therefor it is time to thank my crew members for the fantastic time we spend together, their valuable advises, the nice discussions we had, the good meals that have been prepared and friendships that have been created.
Skipper Cees wishes you all have had a good time and surely want to see you back on board soon.
Have a nice summer and please do stay in contact. You know my e-mail address.
