the 18th and 19th of April Aqua went to Heeg to go Skûtsje sailing! We got to use the Skûtsje from Orionis on Sunday, but made a whole weekend of it by aslo going Vlak sailing on Saturday.
On Saturday we drove off by car at 8:30 sharp from Wageningen to Heeg. When we arrived we started setting up our camp for the night, which consisted of three family tents in which we could comfortably and also store our stuff. Luckily we managed to set these up just before the rain started so we could enjoy our lunch dry in the tent.
When we had finished our lunch we did a short briefing about the weekend and then divided the group in two to go Valk sailing. We did this from 13 till about 17 with perfect wind conditions, just a little bit of rain and a very nice lake to sail on! As we were sailing on the Valks on the Heegermeer we came across quite e few Skûtsjes already. At some point we even came across one of our sister associations, Euros, sailing on a Skûtsje the rented.
Than at about 17:30 we arrived back at the harbour, cleaned up the boats and made dinner. Making dinner was quite a thing as at some point there was a big discussion about how much salt we should put in the pasta water (we were making pasta pesto), but after just putting half of the small jar of salt into the pan we had no choice but just make the pasta in there. I think in the end everyone agreed that the food was good and when we were done, some went to do the dishes, others played a game and Niek went to gather some wood to make a fire at the fire pit. Ottenhome, the harbour where we stayed had a nice fire pit which we could use, so of course we had to and to make the evening extra cosy we played a few rounds of our favourite game: werewolves.
After this successful evening everybody went to sleep to be awakened at 7:30 again, because we had a full day of Skûtsje sailing planned!
