It was a good season. We did not start until the 3rd of May. This was because of delays in the maintenance jobs, caused by some useless sailmakers who never came to measure the rig.
The last sail of the season was on the 5th of October, which is sort of normal for us.
In between we clocked 57 days of "sailing", if you count the trips from Middelharnis to Amsterdam and Amsterdam to Middelharnis, which were mostly motoring.
The highlight of the season was the trip to the Waddenzee on our own keel, a total of ca. 360 miles. Mekicevica and crew were tested by winds up to 6 Bf, the infamous waves of the Ijsselmeer, and the strong tides of the Wad. We can claim to have passed with flying colours. In the process, the skipper called Mekicevica home for four weeks... and did not miss any of the comforts of life on land.
We are already dreaming plans for 2015...
