Wed 7 Sep 2005
Well, today, the 7th of September, I’ve still to arrange some
things like getting insured and such, but this
midday I’ll finally start with the real trip! I’ll
hitchhike to the city of IJmuiden where I’ll try something new -
hitchhiking by boat! I hope to catch a ride with a private boat and
experience a ‘real’ channel crossing. It’s Wednesday today and my
first plan is to be in Hull (UK) by Friday. It’s very
exciting to be finally taking off. I know I always get to my destiny
when hitchhiking, but how will this boat hitching work out?
And after Hull? Well, I’ll be visiting a friend in Scotland and do a
life coaching workshop in London. If the weather stays good I might
probably do some hiking and biking. But really, in the end planning
everything really isn’t necessary! I don’t doubt for a minute that I’ll
meet many interesting things and people on my way. Just go! That’s all
there is to it…

Very good to see that you are now realy leaving “the Netherlands”Â.
I am curious by what means you will be able to cross the channel. Is swimming a option(wink). I hope that you succeed to arrive safely to the other side of the Channel. Keep the information-flow comming to this website. Greetz

What is “life coaching”? Is it something like “getting ready to start living”?

Well, I am very curious about the results.. It is Sunday right now, so did you make it before Friday? Or did you have to swim? I hope you will have a good time!

Hee Jurgen,
while envying you for sailing the Channel while I stay in Holland, I wonder whether you know where you have left the sugar spoon? You used it when you made Roberts cake :)
Enjoy!

Hey Jurgen,
I can almost feel the sunset when I read your story. I would like to read the book about your trip.
Not worrying about anything is usually the best way to succes. You´ll be allright, I´m sure of it.
