Walking with the dogs along the IJsselmeer, this is in the Northern part of The Netherlands …
… it was a very chilly day, however the skies were beautiful …

One of my early sailing grounds. I’ve spent weeks on the Ijsselmeer, loving every minute on this glorious inland sea. The Medieval cities and tiny towns surrounding it are what make it special, but especially the feeling of maritime.

Really? Believe it or not there was a sailboat out that day …

Yes, Marion. If you come from around there, it might be commonplace, but if you have only one week to spend on a boat you make the most of every moment, which means you might be out in squalls with Beaufort 6. And after a day of wet and spending time ‘on the walls of the boat’, you are thrilled to find yourself in Hoorn, or the tiny harbour of Marken, able to grab a beer in the harbour pub.

Oh yes you are right Dawn, I didn’t think about renting a boat or having only one week of holiday … But still, only pro’s would do that right? Pro is not the right word I wanted to day diy hearts but do you write it like this?
By the way I could sail a boat when I was 5 years old. I grew up on a houseboat on a large lake.

I have never heard the expression, DIY hearts, but I like it.
Five years old, Marion! What a wonderful childhood.
