Sailing to Enkhuizen with Chris and Anita

The weekend of the 5th of August this year was the most amazing weekend of the year. We sailed to Enkhuizen on Saturday where we met our friends Chris and Anita with their First 31.7. It was a good sail there and we met them going through the naviduct at Enkhuizen. We moored in the old port of Enkhuizen along the keyside about 5 boats in and with Chris on our other side. Next to us was a brandnew Elan with friends of Chris on board. We had a few drinks and lots of laughs. We had dinner outside a steakhouse in the sunset and we went back on board for some latenite deckchat. It was loads of fun.

The next morning we had breakfast together and we left port, Chris heading back to Lelystad and Maris and I back to Muiden. There was about a force 5 wind blowing due east which made for a fantastic sail back at an amazing speed. The great thing was that the sun was extremely hot so we had thrill, surf and sun. What more could you want. We were back way to early to head back into port so we ancored in the luff of the island of Pampus where we sat in the sun for some well deserved drinks and bites.

What an amazing weekend it had been.


Cheers



Nick
