Messin' About

The last weekend of June, and a long one for me. Thursday and Friday were spent preparing Mekicevica for a new adventure. Lots of small tasks, but the one I am most proud of is the new main sheet, with an eye splice I did myself. An easy trick to learn and makes the ropes look good and seamanlike.
The new main sheet with an eye splice made by yours truly.
On Friday I dropped the car in Stellendam, on the W extreme of the Haringvliet, by the barrier to the North Sea. This time I was with my race bike and biking gear and returned to Middelharnis without mishaps. Stellendam was to be our next destination. In the following posts you can read how weird winds completely changed our plans.
