Description I went off-shore sailing this weekend in the North of Holland. We made a circulair trip and spending the night on Texel, one of the so-called "Wadden Islands" in the North. The first day was rainy but the second day was beautiful. That means beautiful for sunbathing but not for sailing. No wind, no speed but just drifting with the tidel current to our destination. It was very relaxing though!

Lovely tranquil shot, it has the feel of a painting somehow.
It's a god job you weren't in a race though
