Jun. 14, 2008 - Live Report From Middelburg
Amazingly it is 8.30 pm on Saturday and we are moored up between piles in a lovely, peaceful little spot. After a few thundery showers this morning, it has turned into a beautiful day/evening.
Middelburg is a beautiful place to visit lots of 17th century houses along the many quaysides. Sort of Goes does Zierikzee with a touch of Veere.
There are miles of these quaysides and numerous opening bridges with some old but still fully functional "Victorian" ironmongery:
We had a great sail to get here, with lots of short tacking (sorry Kim), some deft lock work and close-quarters boat handling (nothing phases Wendy now - not even a 40+ foot racing boat full of Belgian men getting in her way just as she wants to turn between the piles!). Roll on tomorrow for part 2!
