Hope you are ready for some windmills, green fields and beautiful places!
In the beginning of June, we started our journey into the Standing Mast Route, a part of the European waterways that run through the Netherlands. The route is defined in a way where all bridges and locks can be passed with the mast up. We start in terrible weather, but summer arrives and we get to sail along the beauty that is Holland in the warming sun. Looking back at the video clips, we get goose bumps over how pretty everything is 😁 Sailing in such narrow canals, is something we have never done before and it was truly a great experience.
For navigation we used the Staande mastroute Wateratlas, the Waterkaart Live app and our Navionics charts. We did not carry the wateralmanaks, which are the most common books (since you are obliged to carry the waterway rules onboard). The rules are instead found in the app mentioned above, which we used instead. Still, everything is in Dutch so it's a bit tricky to understand.
We are Emmy and Marcus, a Swedish couple who has decided to leave our home and set sail. For now the goal is Caribbean, but who really knows how far your dreams might take you?
