End of the Valk tocht

Yesterday was very wet and rather windy as expected. We had an extensive group breakfast in the restaurant right above the harbour, the rest of the day was spent inside, reading and working. Even the heather had to do a few hours of service....

Today was much better, dry but still very windy. The harbour is filling up quickly, it is Ascension day today plus tomorrow is the 'sloepen' rowing race from Harlingen to Terschelling. Both of those make this a very popular harbour. We did a few loads of washing early on and had a cycle trip in the afternoon. That was followed by the closing dinner of the tour, a very nice buffet.

Tomorrow we will move to Ameland in a flotilla of probably six boats. The weather forecast is excellent and the tide favourable, we need to leave just after 8am to get over the three shallows on the way. We should see some seals, if so we will take and post pictures.

As I don't have any suitable pictures of yesterday or today, here is a nice one taken by one of our colleagues on the way from Harlingen a few days ago. It shows Lyn on her favourite perch, the roof. It looks like a big rain cloud behind us, but that never reached us!
