Canal sailing

Although the weather is not that great to sit in an open boat, most people in Amsterdam take the risk and sail their boat in the canals.



The dark clouds are coming again.

  1. Excellent mages Marianne, the last one is a beauty.. so interesting to see the buildings along the canal.. I hope the sailors made it to shore before the rain :)

  2. I'd go out in a boat in that weather, too. I hope the current unpleasant weather is not a sign of a hard winter approaching!!

  3. They seem to be enjoying themselves. I guess there is no life jacket rule?

    1. No it is a canal without waves and always two sides close by. Only little children wear one.

  6. I suppose the canals are the best way of getting around Amsterdam. I don't mind the rain so much but this drop in temperature is a bit much in August.

  8. Olga and the natural wood-colored boats are lovely to look at.
    Is it the wind that makes it risky to sail in the canals?

    Peace :)

  9. I think this is such an unusual and fun way to experience a city. I remember taking a ride and it was fabulous.
    Hope you are well Bieb!

  10. The tour boats remind me of the ones we have here for the same purpose.

  11. Dearest Marianne,
    It sounds and looks like your incredible, warm and early spring with great summer is coming to a halt... Hope the sunshine will come back to warm up the country!
    Hugs and happy new week.
