Last Saturday we hit the beach with a bunch of Dutchies... what a hoot!


First you negotiate for a boat (and get hosed of course...) and then you pile in with all your stuff and off you go. This time we settled for a speed boat. The ocean was very calm and the ride is a lot quicker than in the larger boats.


Then you arrive and unload and have fun!! We had the place to ourselves the entire day!



These lovely folks are all working here with the DVN or ZGK. The older couple, Jan and Dini, live here. The other woman (Janeke) and man (Henk O-not her husband) come here periodically for meetings with the Reformed Churches.

Then when the boat comes to pick you up after a day of fun, you pack up your stuff and head back to the dock for the long curvy ride home during which one of your children loses his lunch.... thankfully outside the car....

ooohh - I'm jealous! :-) So nice ......
this Jan and Dini looks familiar. Are they affiliated with our churches somehow?

Sigh! To be sitting on a beach somewhere sipping an ice cold lemonaid......that's what I'm dreaming about tonight :)

@Nicole - Jan and Dini are members of our Dutch sister churches. They work with the Reformed churches here.
