The Ijsselmeer and Wadden Sea are picturesque sailing grounds, if a little shallow.

Great sailing on the Ijsselmeer.

Across the Wadden Sea to the island of Vlieland - navigation critical in tidal channels

Entrance to Vlieland harbour - the tide runs at a white knuckle 4 knots across the narrow entrance

At Borkum on the Ems estuary - 5 mile walk from harbour to town but worth it!

With high tide depth of 1.7 metres, weekend yacht traffic gets busy on the Wadden sea channels.

Our local supermarket in Hindeloopen

In the low country the sky is always interesting

Visits to Amsterdam - Sixhaven marina is right in the centre and a great destination for a few days.

Bike park at Amsterdam Central station

Public harbour at Enkkhuizen - one of our favourite stops, and a major shopping centre.
