Deeper Into the Oosterschelde. 3. Beautiful Boats

It was a slightly hung-over crew that got-up to catch the first opening of the bridge. By 0900, Mekicevica and a few other sailing and motor yachts were negotiating the bridges and heading back to the Oosterschelde.
The wind was really light, at moments dying to nothing. I am glad we made the effort to get up in time to sail with the tide, otherwise it would have been difficult to make any progress at all. Since we had the tide helping us and were in no particular hurry, we just enjoyed the nice weather, the views of the Oosterschelde and the interesting boats around.
Very interesting rig. If I owned this boat I would have fitted her with junk sails.
Original colour.
Short-handed they are not.
