Jos' Boat Trip
Bommenede Harbor
October 1, 2025
This morning it was really foggy. You could only see about 30-40 feet. It really wasn't save to be out on the bike as you could easily be hit by another bike. Jos had some business to conduct so it worked out fine. I was in no hurray to get out there in the fog. It didn't clear off 12:30. So we didn't get on the road until close to 1:00 pm.
We had planned a 65 kms ride but with such a late start we decided to ride over to Zeirikzee which was only 17 kms off. This was about an hour's ride and we cruised over there for lunch. We stopped at a very nice place where we had burgers. They were absolutely huge. The burger was easily 7 inches in diameter and loaded with cheese, bacon, and tomatoes.
After lunch Jos headed off to get a hair cut and I opted to go to a little museum which as right around the corner. It was a very interesting place. They restored different types of ships in the museum. Right now they were working a coastal piolet's boat and a larger sailing ship. In the harbour out side they had a ferry and a couple of other sailing ships which they had completed.
It was a beautiful afternoon and I really enjoyed the museum and sitting in the sun waiting for Jos to get back from his hair cut.
The ride back to the boat was a very easy ride but I forgot to turn my Garmin on so I didn't an accurate distance.
Another great day in the bicycle capital of the world.

Hi Terry
Just got onto the blog today and will be following. This looks like a really interesting and idiosyncratic journey to make. I guess at this time of year it is natural to expect fog to be rolling in from time to time. Seems like plenty of nooks and crannies to visit and explore.
Good to see the photos of you and Jos – thought those of Jos are somewhat annoying …. When I think of cycling with you guys in the Canadia Rockies ……. it was 2013. Could Jos not have done the decent thing and aged a bit? He looks the same. 😊
