On Friday, June 20, I'm going out for a day with my colleagues. A very nice, pleasant and successful day. Because it's just a fun and relaxed group of colleagues who like to experience sailing on the SeaQuest and hear sailing stories. And also because it almost never happens that I have the final responsibility as 'skipper' because Toine is really the 'main skipper'.
It's going fine on all counts. At 11 o'clock we gather and first drink coffee and tea of course with a Zeeland bolus. After the 'palaver' we go on our way up the Grevelingen, north of the Archipelago, in the direction of the Brouwersdam.
The first part against the northwest wind with large sail and engine. After Archipelago we sail half wind along the sailing regatta for Classic ships to the anchorage for lunch. There I am treated to regional products of the colleagues, starting with 'jam' and ending with 'spirits'. Ron and Rob (yes yes) do the dishes together! On the way back with plenty of wind and only the genoa back to Bru. Lovely in the sun with wind force 4/5. Around 5 pm we are back in the marina and drive back to Tilburg for a BBQ in our garden. The only downside is that Rob loses his mobile phone when we get off the boat. It is now at the bottom of the marina. Such a kick and enjoyment that I am already thinking about a business model for my own company; arranged company outings for 6-8 people with fantastic sailing experience with meeting facilities, relaxation and adventure on the Grevelingen and well taken care of with food and drinks during lunch and possibly also dinner. Who knows .......
