From 11.08.-15.08.2020 we are back on the Ijsselmeer and the canals between Lemmer, Heeg, Makkum and Stavoren. Maybe other WB's will be there during this time and you can meet.
Callsign UKW DH6377 or a short info here in the forum!

Hello gaff sailors, :)

this is just a little hint, the WB 120 is back on the Ijsselmeer! In the week from 19th to 27th of June 2021 we will be sailing between Enkhuizen, Lemmer and Makkum. It would be nice to see the masthead of another Winklebrig too!

Appetisers: Scrappy rain, some hail, 5 force winds, gusts and cold as arse - but nice to sail.

Had half a doz days on the water ..... mostly when the sun shines warm.
Is there a quick way to shrink pics to fit here?  Always takes me too long.

Hi,

easily open your picture with PAINT (a part of Windows) and choose the scaling function, save the reduced diemension with a new name (otherwise you will overwrite the original one) - ready!

Kind regards

Due to ideal wind and weather forecasts with 3-5 wind forces and a tide suitable for the entire voyage planning, we have changed the destination to the Weser estuary and the East Frisian Islands.

The way from the East of England to here is full of rewards - maybe we will meet!

Greetings WB 120,
It would be lovely to meet up sometime but not in 2021 I fear!  Covid plus "cold as arse" weather!

Only one comment - great!

Kind regards

Great photos Gerold and interesting to notice small differences in rigging and fittings between different Winkle Brigs.

Hi Gerold,

Nice pictures. I am jealous about your trip. Did you catch any fish?

greetings,

Hello Winklebrigger!

I like this thread  ;) because once again we go - 7 days Ijsselmeer, this time counterclockwise, but again starting from Koudum.
After it didn't work out in the last years maybe this time - I would be happy about more WB's on the water there.  8)
