Went sailing this weekend on a relatively flat IJsselmeer (big lake) with light winds and the A5 with good speed at this blow (6 kts boat speed (through the water) with 9-10 kts true wind speed at a true wind angle of 100 degrees).
With today’s trip the circle is round again; Lelystad - Andijk - Den Oever - Den Helder - IJmuiden - Lowestoft (UK) - Durgerdam - Lelystad. What a great trip it was!
The trip back from Lowestoft (🇬🇧) to IJmuiden (NL) was great! 14 - 18 kts from the North. 107 nm, 21,5 hr
With the Small Ships Race from IJmuiden (🇳🇱) to Lowestoft (🇬🇧). Unfortunately not a lot of wind, so partly on the motor. 31 hours on board.
