This is "Onbekommerd"!

Onwards to Ameland

Today, we continued the trip with a reduced flotilla, a total of six boats, five from the original Valk crowd and a welcome addition.

After saying our goodbyes to the crews that were going back to 'the shore' or who were staying on Terschelling for a bit longer, we made our way past the 'charters', old fashioned sailing ships now used to offer groups or individuals a few days on the water.






After leaving the harbour we turned to port with our fleet following us:




As you can see, it was stunning weather, not a breath of wind, sunny (a bit cool), perfect conditions for a 'Wadden trip').

When we got to the Engelsmansplaat, the seals were out in full force and we took a lot of obligatory pictures. Here is a nice one:






We got to Ameland just after midday. This was good as an hour later the harbour got full and you can almost walk over the boats from one side of the harbour to the other now. On arrival we all found a spot and discussed the trip.





We had an animated 'borrel' (pre dinner drinks) session on the biggest boat of our flotilla. The idea is to stay here two nights and the continue to Schiermonnikoog, the next island, together.
