Stopping on a dune for a bite of lunch.
We especially liked these orchids of which there were many in the dunes.
Once we returned to the harbour, the yachts competing in the 'Harlingen - Terschelling race' were arriving. With over 100 yachts varying from small one design ones:
To big 'platbodems', traditional yachts:
The harbour was very full:
This morning they all left again to race back to Harlingen.
We then did a cycle trip, just a few hours and not very strenuous but very nice, including coffee with cranberry cake near the beach. No pictures, unfortunately.
Tomorrow, the weather is expected to be rather bad with a lot of rain. We have a 'communal breakfast' planned on shore.
All in all, we are enjoying the time with our new found friends, we exchange experiences with our boats and look at the differences. The Valk boat is what binds us! Although the official programme ends with a dinner on Thursday night, a few of us will continue in a unofficial convoy to the next islands, Ameland and Schiermonnikoog. But before then, there will surely be another blogpost.
