Having arrived home late on Friday after a long trip, we had a really late start on Saturday. Moreover the NE wind was very light, so even sailing with the tide it soon became clear that we were too late to get anywhere in the Oosterschelde in time for dinner. It was also getting close to low water, so Stavenisse harbour was not accessible. So we turned around and made our way to Sint-Annaland... again. Not that it bother us. Sailing in the Krabbenkreek is always delightful, particularly in a quiet and warm evening like this.
We did get dinner in the club house and on Sunday woke up to a bright, warm morning. There was not much wind, so we motored up the Krabbenkreek just before low water, dropped the hook in shallow water and spent the day lazying in the sun, swimming and watching the birds and the shore moving away in the flooding tide. I also took the opportunity to give a good scrub to Mekicevica's bottom, which was starting to be covered in weed and barnacles.
Around 3pm, Mekicevica turned around the anchor to let us know that the tide had started to ebb. We hoisted the sails and leisured sailed down the Krabbenkreek, which was busy with anchored boats and people swimming. Unfortunatelly there were also a few annoying motor boats pulling idiots over the water on all sorts of devices and making a lot of noise and waves. Despite that we enjoyed the sailing in the warm sunshine.
