Blogging again

Haven't been blogging for almost a year now. The last post was on the crossing to Lowestoft in England. We managed to set to sea the morning after we were surposed to leave. However the waives were still extremely high and the sea was rough. We managed about an hour out of IJmuiden after which we didn't feel comforable enough to ride it for another 23 hours and then returning for 24 hours of the same.
We decided to turn back. After coming back into port and we reported in to the organizing comittee. It turned out two yachts had sunk that night, one of which was in our club and attempting the same crossing. It got hit by a freighter in the night. Everyone was resqued after a while in the liferaft.
A good decision on our part! We turned to the IJsselmeer and had a fantastic week of sailing to Hindeloopen, Enkhuizen, Stavoren and some other ports. Great fun!!!
I will try to keep blogging this season :-)
