A weekend sailing

This weekend we went to the boat and sailed to the Grevelingen, a salt water lake in Holland. First we sailed from Dintelmond to Brouwershaven and stayed overnight at the yachtharber in the city center and had dinner at a little bity disappointing chinese restaurant. The next mornuing we sailed to a couple of small islands near Bruinisse and had lunch there. After lunch we went for a swim, Nils and dad jumping overboard and ingmar and Wende swam with their lifejackets on. Mom joined as well for a quick dip in the pool.. After that we raised the sails again to sail to the brand new harber at Bruinisse. Never seen such a nice and neat harber with fascillities! Regarding fascillities.. the kids cleaned the deck every day and we saw something very unusual, a Phocoena phocoena passed us by! There is video below were you can actually see it (unfortunately only once..)
Next morning after we enjoyed the freshly baked croissants, we sailed to the locks, waited fore it to open, luckily these locks were quite big so we passed though with the next shift, leaving disappointed big ship owners waiting some more.. The next lock was only 1 hour sailing away (Krammersluizen) and there we passed through again and on we went, back to where we came from, Dintelmond. The kids loved it but going to sleep at night was not so easy and for us it was not as comfortable as at home..
