Terschelling

We made an early start from Hindeloopen to catch the best of the tide as we left the Ijsselmeer. With just the wind turbines for company on the water it was so still and it was already hot by the time we passed through the lock into the Wadden sea.

Despite 3 charts aboard the channel was not as marked. Fortunately visibility was good and the weaving channel is marked by numbered buoys. We wanted to make the most of the tidal stream and after the very narrow channels and 1mtr depth we were clear into deeper water and wider channels.

The early start paid off and we arrived at about 1pm in Terschelling. Our first Frisian island. The engine took the strain today as very light winds and the twisty slalom channels are no good for sailing.
After a brief lunch pick me up, I went off on foot to explore whilst Ron tried to rest up on board.
Incredible views at the lookouts across the sand and out to dunes at low tide. Buzzing streets.
