Zeiltochten
Tot nog toe beperken de zeiltochten met de Joukje zich tot dagtochten in Terschellinger wateren,
met als favoriete bestemming de Noordergronden, maar dat laatste alleen met mooi weer.
Een vakantie in Denemarken of Frankrijk per boot (op de trailer) staat ook nog op het verlanglijstje, maar wanneer dat ervan komt?......
Onderstaand gewoon wat leuke plaatjes om bij weg te dromen voor de openhaard, op een herfstachtige dag .

Messing about.....
Hieronder volgt iets meer informatie over het beroemde citaat uit "Wind in de wilgen".
Gewoon omdat het zo waar is en zoveel poëtischer dan het Nederlandse "kloten met boten".
Wereldwijd hebben vele liefhebbers van (kleine) bootjes het citaat omarmd.
Dat heeft geleid tot "messing about" websites, een blad, een forum, T-shirts en tassen.
In Nederland heeft (bij mijn weten) vooral Hans Vandersmissen bijgedragen aan de bekendheid van het fenomeen.
"Is it so nice as all that?" asked the mole, shyly...
"Nice? It's the only thing," said the Water Rat Solemnly, as he leaned forward for his stroke. "Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."
"Simply messing...about in boats -- or with boats... In or out of 'em it doesn't matter. Nothing seems to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."
"Look here! If you've really nothing else on hand this morning, supposing we drop down the river together and have a long day of it.?"
Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame.
A messabout is an event where a group of people get together to discuss and "mess about" in boats. The concept is not new but the name is.
The term originated in April 1990 when Joe Tribulato organized the first such event with this name. This was the beginning of the Southern California Small Boat Messabout Society, SCSBMS.
The term is derived from the children's book "The Wind in the Willows", by Kenneth Grahame.
Messabouts are usually attended by a group of people who have taken up boat building, boating and all things boat-related as their primary hobby. While many people have been at this hobby for quite some time, the advent of the Internet has allowed them to network on a level not seen before. They come from all over to get together for camaraderie. (Bron: Wikipedia)
