Overview
From Vlissingen to the German Border including the IJsselmeer and Markermeer, this handy travel guide to the Netherlands, via the Standing Mast Route, ensures sailors make the most of every minute ashore.
Arriving ashore somewhere new often raises questions for even the most experienced sailor: Where are the most peaceful harbours to stop? What are the nearest shops and where can I find facilities, fuel and help with repairs? Sailors need a different kind of pilot guide after arrival and this book is their shore-side companion, helping them to explore and enjoy all the Netherlands has to offer.
There is probably no other country in Europe that packs in so many different types of cruising destinations into one small place as the Netherlands. In the morning you can be moored up in a vibrant, modern city, yet by the end of the day immersed in a quaint, traditional Dutch village, complete with windmills, and with a backdrop of vivid tulips at the right time of year. Where can I find the tastiest cheese in Gouda, or authentic stroopwafel bakery? Where is the most delicious chocolate workshop, and where can I watch a clog being made by a traditional shoe maker?
Illustrated with photographs and maps, this guide brings together the key information needed for your trip, along with Paul Heiney's brilliant recommendations, all in one handy place, freeing up valuable holiday time.
