In 2016 the sailing season started late, the first photos are at the dunes of Voornes dune. Then I was mainly busy with dragonflies and butterflies. We sailed "inland" to Breskens, with stops in Kats (Oosterschelde) and Terneuzen. Near Terneuzen is the Braakman, also a beautiful nature reserve. In my boat blog you can find the stories of the trip. There were quite a few bumps with the boat, as you can read in the Kats story. The shells in water cooling on the way to Terneuzen did not make it. It is actually nice to read the old blogs.
