Hindeloopen

A gentle start to help ease Ron's back into action and take in the last of Enkhuizen. We set sail at 2.15pm expecting a kinder down wind sail after the brutal winds of yesterday. Once out of the harbour the wind had dropped so much we thought at first we'd be motoring the whole way but things picked up and we even managed to dodge most of the hefty rain squalls. Arriving at 16.50hrs into a tiny old harbour at Hindeloopen with gentle breeze and SUN shining🌞. As always a warm welcome by the harbour master.

Standing up to it's name Hindeloopen is yet another pretty & quirky Dutch town with lots of character and history. We stopped to look at the Commonwealth war graves of 11 Airmen from 1941-44.
As standard, stunning locks and paved streets. The leaning church tower - crazy wonky.😄

An after supper stroll after gorgeous Thai meal and the warmth of the sun to relax aboard... Could this be summer finally catching up with us?

It's 22:22hrs and it's still light...
& only need the one coat😍Les mer
