Vaarwijzer: De Noordzeekust

The coast of the Low Countries is one of the most dangerous in the world. There is hardly any place to shelter. Currents, breakers and swell can pose a great danger and there are sandbanks in inconvenient places. Michiel Scholtes travelled from Nieuwpoort to Delfzijl and wrote a practical reference work with which sailors can approach ports and sea inlets in the area in a responsible manner.
In this Vaarwijzer you can read not only about the dangers, but also about the great pleasure of a beautiful trip along the dune row. An indispensable book on board for anyone who ventures out to sea.

In 2020, Peter Schermer sailed the coastal area again in the wake of Michiel Scholtes. He carefully noted the changes in the approaches to a safe harbour and has incorporated them into this new edition.
