East Coast to Versemeer

[Rivers & creeks]

We first discovered the Versemeer in 2006 and haven't been able to go back since. The youngest will be 3 this spring so it's time for a return visit in 2010. If anyone else with/without children fancies a cruise there it's highly recommended. It's smallish but the kids can go off dinghy sailing in safety and you can tie up at one of the many islands for the night. We're planning a departure at the beginning of the school hols - any other east coaters fancy a 'rally'?

We are planning to go, for the first time, before the school holidays.

Did you know that there are Social Groups for sailing with kids and cruising Holland? (under Community above).

Let me know your plans a bit closer to the time and I may meet you during a weekend. Its about a day each way from my mooring, assuming we hit the locks whilst the keeper is having his lunch!

Roger, are you still making the journey after Oostend? If you give us a head start, you may pass us on the way!

'Tis the plan but until Santa delivers some books and info I'm not sure where we are going to.

how far do you expect to go ( how much time ) north or Zeeland

 

[moonshine]

Just a germ of a thought at present, but potentially the lower areas, Zeeland and just north Have to get acroos that North Sea first !

Its the Zeeland Brug, but is it taken from Colinsplaat or t'other side. (I can sail under that one too!)
