We enjoyed a mid November sailing trip on Lake Grevelingen to the max. We were amazed that we were about the only boat on the water and getting to an island that normally is very crowded and ending up the only visitors was a true relaxed experience. The colors in the fall are so much more vivid than during the hazy summer months and shooting pics made me realize that very much. No it was not cold, no we did not suffer at all and YES I can recommend trying "weird stuff" now and then to experience the unexpected. Freedom (also the name of our boat) is not about the size of the boat but it is about the size of the waters around us!
