    Hellevoestsluis (Hell of a slice)

    June 8, 2024 in the Netherlands ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Happy to get out of the 25 knots and lumpy water to this fortified town and the welcoming marina at Heliushaven. The lovely harbour masters wife came out to wash off the duck poo on the pontoon... You could hear the wind howling around the masts in the outer edges of the marina. The sun was shining though so we started to warm up..
    Took a walk to explore ... Ron drawn to the historical naval port. Note - the first brick built dry dock in the Netherlands is here along with the North Hinder lightship etc... Enjoyed a stretch of the legs before the rain came in.

    If it rains: the fire fighters museum, the naval wharf was where Michiel de Ruyter set off to brake the Medway chain in UK and steal a RN ship transom as trophy. https://youtu.be/98_QlrhvFm8?si=AO99_JnN4d_TvFK3 [Rbt]
