NL - IJsselmeer/Friesland - various
 

Not my best pictures, but I'll share them anyway :-)

Pic 1-5 are shot while sailing the IJsselmeer. At the time I liked the
lighting as there were dramatic clouds in the background and the sun was
shining on some sailing ships. I didn't quite get it in a dramatic picture,
as I was also on the helm at the time... (can't win 'm all...)

Pic 6-9 show the bridge over the Prinses Margrietkanaal at Uitwellingerga
(near Sneek) at a very busy moment. I was waiting for an opening and the
traffic coming my way had to go first. Some motorboats (which can sail
under the bridge anyway) decided to try and sail against traffic at full
throttle. Last moment saw them backing up... :-)

pic 10- shows a rental motorboat (20 minutes later) which almost rams a
rental sailboat. At the last moment they gave way.

It was an intersting afternoon!
