On July 10 we decided the time was right to set sail. Two days ahead of initial schedule to benefit from the favourable but rare northerly winds.
But first we had a nice string of good-byes. Family and the Ouddorp sailing club cheered us away from the Reddingloods. Here we received a first survival kit with Dutch essentials.
Just before we arrived at the first lock in Bruinisse the Windhond sailed along and handed over a hamper with Dutch essentials.
