You arrive in Oostmahorn on Friday in between 19.00 hrs and 19.30 and your boat is waiting for you. It is important that you have taken along enough food and drinks for two days. Provided they have been ordered in time, in case you yourselves have not got the time to take this along, the super-market at Anjum can deliver these shoppings. Just ask for the shopping-list for this service. You can prepare your own meals on board, but we can offer you, if agreed upon timely, an arrangement with diner, 2 x breakfeast , 2 x lunch-packet.
There is skippers and crew palaver at 20.30 It is being explained how you have to read the charts and the tide-tables. It being discussed and decided jointly as to where the trip will go, depending ion the weather, where and when to fall dry and where the best place is for doing that., the importance of the Waddencode is being emphasised, etc. In short many things will be discussed and questions will be posed and answered. An early rise next morning and under a cup of coffee the latest decisions will be taken. When everything is clear it becomes time to sail off to the lock. There is a possibility to hoist the sails and get acquainted with the ship.
Through the (lock) of Lauwersoog on to the wad/shallows. The intention is to stay overnight with the flotilla weekends on Schiermonnikoog. You can stay and sleep on board but we can also reserve a hotel for you.
Depending on the tide we depart again - in principle on Sunday-morning - from Schiermonnikoog , heading for Lauwersoog.
In any case you will enter the port of Oostmahorn again before 19.00 hrs . Half an hour later you will have cleaned the boat and all your belongings have been taken out. Perhaps you want to stay behind and have a talk at the habitués' table in restaurant "Insulinde" and share your first insights in wad-sailing with others. We wish you a lot of stories.
