Sailing from 3 to peaks of 7 Bft on the Veerse Meer in the Netherlands

October sailing with our Bavaria 32 Cruiser, starting with only 3 bft, but soon up to 5 and 6, with peaks of 7 Bft. We've reefed from the start, since predictions were 5 to 6. So not enough sail at start, but that soon changed. A nice wind, but fairly cold. 6 degrees celsius, but chillfactor .... My wife and I enjoyed the trip on the Veerse Meer in the Netherlands.
