After the recent arrival of Oscar our newborn son we decided that it was time for him to get his sea legs. Everyone you meet in the sailing world will have a different opinion of when is the ideal time to start sailing with you child. Well we decided not to listen to anyone and get Oscar on the water as soon as possible, from 5 days old that is…
We are now based in Zeeland, Holland, and sailing on the inland see and rivers so felt that it was quite safe enough to venture out. Zeeland is a fantastic place to sail with hundreds of mules of sea and rivers and numerous islands to explore. It has the advantage of being quite protected allowing you to sail even when the wind is really strong, 30+ knots, as the sea remains quite flat. In the English Channel with this breeze you would probably have 2m of swell and quite a nail biting ride.
Oscar has now been sailing a number of times Elo mostly carries him in her scarf so he hangs in front and can take in all the views, quite contently. What a way to start your life……
