 In 2002, I went sailing, really sailing for the first time. Starting from Harlingen in the Netherlands, on a flat-bottomed sailboat, heading out to the islands of Friesland. This is when I got hooked and didn't even know it. I found myself staring at waves like you may find yourself in front of a bonfire. In 2002, I went sailing, really sailing for the first time.

 Over the years, the staring at waves, horizons and the occasional school of dolphins grew more intense. The need, not to say the urge to go sailing grew. A small candle at first, was growing into a Christmas tree lit on fire.  Over the years, the staring at waves, horizons and the occasional school of dolphins grew more intense.
