Hello Dennis,
That's a nice story about sailing in Friesland! It is the area we sail. Most of the place you visited we do visit several times a year. Our holiday this year was just after your trip, temperature was lower and there was a lot of rain and wind. But that's what we like about Friesland, it looks different every time. If you want to come back next year you can go further to the north to the Eernewoude (Earnewald in Frysk) area, the environment is different there, much more trees (but not to much :-) ). You can also go to the IJsselmeer, via the locks of Stavoren or Workom. There al lot of small cities around the IJsselmeer. But because the waves on the IJsselmeer we plan our trips there with an average speed of about 2.5 knots.
But in Friesland there is much more to see! We sail in Friesland for about forty year and it never gets boring. May we can meet next year. We will be sailing there during the weekends and in August.
Regards,
Bert
