It is complicated to make plans, while sailing and obeying the forces of wind and weather and accidents. We had plans to meet friends in Belgium and Breskens, had to postpone them and then see that it was possible. We got the advice that Breskens is a good harbour for repair at Grand Soleil. In Breskens, a friends friend invited us for dinner at his pirate nest and we had a wonderful evening discussing the forces of water and destiny, ancient Greek Gods and art. On Tuesday morning we could lift Ydalir and the shipyard could start to work. We were really lucky: the shipyard had time, the winds were against us anyhow and we had great friends in the Vanvleeteren family welcoming us to their home while waiting.

British graves in Ieper from the Great War
These are just two pictures from the graveyards in Belgium from the Great War where more than 75000 mostly young soldiers died. Young boys. It is truly important to remember how lucky we are to live in peace and we have to fight for the value of tolerance every day.

So great to read the blog and follow Ydalir II on Marine track.
It was a pleasure meeting the both of you!
The boys are dreaming of sailboats high in the sky.
Fair winds and following seas!

We truly valued the time together.
Are you and Michil still thinking of coming onboard in Bretagne?
