Makkum and Medemblik

From Bolsward it was only a very short (5 nm) stretch to Makkum, but we enjoy the quiet mooring in Makkum so we decided to stop there anyway.
Although Makkum is very small and has not got a lot to do or see, it's still quite pretty:





And it's got pretty white ducks too (and clean water, you can see its feet!)





As we are assisting as volunteers at the DeltaLloyd regatta again (Lyn in the press office and Hans as 'speaker'), we had to cross the IJsselmeer again to Medemblik. Today the conditions were supposed to be good, but the visibility was a lot less than predicted. Especially in a few rain showers, we were happy to have the GPS, as one could see nothing but 'soup' around. We even used the radar to help look out for other vessels.
Medemblik however was exactly where it was supposed to be and we are safely in our berth for the week.
The weather has cleared up nicely and we have had the roof open this afternoon. Also dinner outside in the cockpit, but there is no picture of that.







Medemblik has a wonderful regatta centre.




There probably won't be too many posts the next few days, but we'll try to keep you updated a few times.
We plan to leave here next Sunday or Monday, weather dependent.
