This trip has two focal points: sailing, of course, but also lingering wherever it's beautiful. Sailing experience is welcome but not a prerequisite.

We'll be travelling aboard "Bora" – a GibSea 126 – a solid vessel well equipped for the North Sea. Weather and wind permitting, the trip could look like this:

We take over Bora on Saturday afternoon in Warns on the IJsselmeer. On Saturday we go shopping, practise knots, then the safety briefing follows. On Sunday we sail to Enkhuizen. We continue to Amsterdam. In the evening we take a stroll through Amsterdam. From there we sail across the North Sea to Texel. Here we take a day to explore the island by bicycle. From here it's through the Wadden Sea and the IJsselmeer to Medemblik and then back to Warns.

Bora has 8 berths in four cabins and two berths in the saloon. Maximum occupancy 8 people including skipper.

Trip cost £470 plus ship's kitty approx. £180 for two weeks
