Looking back on Saeftinghe in’t Groen, an evening full of encounters, inspiration and adventure
On Saturday 18 October, no fewer than 150 participants gathered in the green heart of Herenthout for a special evening ashore. Saeftinghe in’t Groen brought crew members, former sailors and new faces together for a warm reunion, a breath of fresh air, fascinating stories and a great appetite for new adventures.
The afternoon started with an atmospheric walk through the Merode Woods, accompanied by a guide who brought the landscape to life. Afterwards, we immersed ourselves in images of the Far North with a photo exhibition about Svalbard, 80° North.
With snacks, drinks and the warmth of fire baskets, the evening continued to grow into a cosy get-together. The highlight was the screening of our new aftermovie about Svalbard, followed by a preview of the programme for 2026, including:
- Sail & Ski expeditions in Norway
- Tall Ships Races 2026
- Autumn trips along the Norwegian fjords
And yes: we are returning to the Far North!
