The Schermer windmills
In the Land of Leeghwater, there were a lot of windmills which pumped water out of the large lakes. Today we live and work on this fertile land, which in some places lies at 4 metres (12 feet) below sea level. These former lakes are called reclaimed land (or, in Dutch: droogmakerij). The windmills on the reclaimed land of the Schermer worked so well that people here switched to pumping-stations for controlling water levels much later than anywhere else. That is why so many windmills have been preserved up to today.

Wim is the man who becomes one with his high-speed and high-tech Quest tricycle as soon as he hits the road. He invited me over for a cup of coffee on his island (hence the ferry) when we met in the polder about 10 kilometers up north. He said it would take him 20 minutes but it was far less than that.
