Every year September, the Dutch Canoe Union (NKB) organises a sea kayaking instruction week on the Island of Vlieland. Two of my highlights this year were a KNRM (RNLI) Lifeboat exercise that was full of shocking surprises for the rescuers and a one-day circumnavigation of the Island of Terschelling.
