🌊 Join me, Jacqueline Evers, on my epic journey around the world aboard my 27-foot Grinde, Loveworkx. In this video I show my preparation back in 2021. This is my first solo night sail.
The Dutch Tourzeilers organize a night sail on the IJsselmeer—and I decide to join. It will be my very first solo night sail.
Because of the northerly wind, I have to tack the entire way. I leave early from Almere and sail 54 nautical miles in total, arriving at 2:00 AM in Medemblik.
The night is beautiful, the boat steady at nearly seven knots—but the final approach is intense. I struggle to see the harbor entrance and must lower the sails inside the harbor for the first time in a place I’ve never been before.
It’s a night of focus, tension, trust—and deep satisfaction.
