Round trip Lauwersoog (Willem Jacob) Thursday, September 10, 2026 7:00 PM

About this trip

De Melkweg is het sterrenstelsel waarin onze zon staat. Aan een donkere hemel zie je hem als een lichte, melkachtige band vol sterren. Door lichtvervuiling is hij in Nederland vaak moeilijk te zien, maar op open water, ver van de kustverlichting, verschijnt hij vaak verrassend helder.

Roundtrip

Roundtrips are great indeed.

Sailing with the Willem Jacob

The Willem Jacob, build in 1889 is completely turned upside down during the last five years. By now the ship has a new bottom, the interior is all new, and there is a new and quiet engine. The outside is restored as good as possible. There is an ongoing wooden hatch from bow to aft, the sides of the accommodation are covered with wood en in 2011 the new mast trunk was sounded.
