Summer 2023 part 1: Belgium

 As the year draws to an end, I find the time to look back at what has been an amazing summer sailing Pathfinder Astrid in 2023.

The first chapter was taking part to Raid Zeeland organised by good friend William in Belgium. Ten boats gathered in the small port of Paal in the Sheldt river close to Antwerp at the beginning of July. The program consisted in a five day sail cruise around the tidal Sheldt river, its busy canals and exploring the magnificient Veerse Meer.

The weather was fantastic and as southern Europe was scorching in the heat, two Pathfinders from southern France (Astrid and Europe) were enjoying the warm sunny conditions in Belgium.















Good friend Roger Barnes produced a stunning video account of the raid:
