Harbour Festival Almere


 This weekend we have our yearly harbour festival with including a botter race on the Gooimeer and a large brocante which we will check out this afternoon.


If you want, you can sail along for an hour and outside the harbour the sails will be set. We have done this in the past but this year we will skip it. The presence of so many old wooden fishing vessels is always a beautiful sight and they were around 1880 a 1900 with 3000 ships the most important fishing vessel on the Zuiderzee now called IJsselmeer.

  7. What a beautiful craft! We lived on our boat for 20 years. Certainly it was a bit bigger than that one. Thank you for sharing!
