Day 35, Scheveningen to Stellendam 36nm

Wednesday, 7 August

We left Scheveningen around 8am to avoid strong winds forecast for later in the day.

Day 34, Amsterdam to Scheveningen, 38nm

Tuesday, 6 August

Today it’s just the two of us and we got up early to make the most of the tide when we get out onto the sea.

Day 33, Amsterdam

Monday, 5 August

Today we stayed in Amsterdam as Angela and Fin are leaving after lunch – at least going home we are right by the station and there’s only one change in Brussels!

Day 32, on to Amsterdam – 31nm

Sunday, 4 August

We spent the morning in pretty Enkhuizen and walked along the town wall to the beach.

Day 31, Harlingen to Enkhuizen, 34nm

Day 31 Harlingen to Enkhuizen, 30nm

Saturday, 3 August

We left around 8:30am – as the boat inside us wanted to catch the bridge before it’s going to be shut for a couple of hours.

German Limericks 🇩🇪

Sorry for delay on these – I know they are popular!

Some miles were on motor, some sailing

We were worried our furler was failing

But it furled in quite slickly

And to Orth we skipped quickly

To dock by Quattordici’s railing!

Day 30 – Terschelling to Harlingen, 19nm

Friday, 2 August

We left Terschelling in the afternoon mostly due to tide and when our neighbours were leaving!

Day 29 – Terschelling – land of sand, birds and boats

Thursday, 1 August

Like everyone else in Holland we decided to stay in Terschelling to get over our journey and see what all the fuss is about!

Day 27/28 German Bight to Terschelling 168nm

Tuesday, 30 – Wednesday 31 July

We are part of a huge flotilla of boats taking the opportunity of a flat sea and hopefully an Easterly wind to get us to Terschelling without going through the washing machine!

Day 26, On to Cuxhaven 16nm

Monday, 29 July

After a rather sleepless night we got ready to go after a barge had looked like it wanted to moor where we were berthed.

We saw other yachts heading for the open lock but there was an enormous ship slowly coming down so we ducked behind it to rush over before the lock closed.
