Thoughts/Memories: Dutch Open Canoe Festival 2018

thecedarjournal September 11, 2018

For us this was our first time at the festival and we didn’t know what to expect. The festival was started in 2003 by a group of canoe friends who just wanted to get together and share their canoe experiences one weekend in September.

We are now at the end of our vacation and sadly at the end of the Dutch Open Canoe Festival 2018.

We made new friends, saw old friends, learned new things and learned a bit about how “Cedar” was built. Plus we paddled a good about of kilometers for us.

Here are three pictures of today more to follow with our follow up blog on the event.

Shopping by Canoe

We found that getting to the store is easier to paddle and dock right outside the store located next to the water than to take the car.

We arrived yesterday at the National Park Weerribben-Wieden. Since I am only on my IPhone I will only post a couple of pictures this week. Then write a complete blog about our adventures when we return.
