However, according to the weather forecast, and reversing the usual "week-end effect" the rain will suddenly stop on Friday and it will start to get progressively brighter. The North wind will be light to moderate.
This is our chance: Mekicevica is going to the Oosterschelde and visit Zierikzee. We have been planning this trip since the early days, but the winds always turn unfavourable.
The Oosterschelde is a wide estuary with tides moderated by an artificial barrier. We cross it via the 5 km long Zeeland bridge whenever we drive to Mekicevica's berth in Bruinisse. In a sunny day with light winds it is a sail-crusier's dream, but with a stiff NW wind blowing against an ebbing tide it is scary. Not a place to be in a small boat.

| Not something you want to see when planning to sail on the Oosterschelde. None of that this week-end. |
