An example of an evening trip sailing:
18 hours embark the ship and welcome with a drink. 18.30 hours Orion leaves the harbor and we hoist the sails. We sail to the Gouwzee and Markermeer. We are comfortable moving with the wind. For the sailing enthusiasts, there is plenty to do, to become one with the elements. The ruder, the ropes, the dagger boards, navigation and last but not least, tacking. The passive sailors can sit and relax in- or outside.
In case of rain, the cabin is available to keep everyone dry.
Sail will be reduced in case of too much wind, in order to sail safe and comfortable.
20.30 dinner is available. Dinner will be offered during sailing, or we will visit a harbor to eat comfortable, in case of high waves, or we will anchor. At 22 hours, or later if you want, we will debark at Monnickendam.
