A three hour trip with sun and little wind brought us to the 'Naviduct' lock at Enkhuizen. This lock is built as an aqueduct, on top of the motorway. Here we are waiting to enter:
As it was a Sunday, there was quite a bit of traffic, but not busy, just nice:
By 3pm we were tied up in Lemmer, back in the Fryslân province. Lemmer is not one on the 11 Frisian towns, it is a 'vlecke', wich means a large village. The old lock is quite nice and so is the quayside in the old quarter. Nice in the pre season, packed in mid summer and noisy with several bars and discos. The weather was still nice and we had pre dinner drinks outside in the cockpit for the first time this year.
This morning it was pretty windy, but as we are now only navigating lakes and canals that's fine. We made our way to Sneek, which being sort of a major town has a few facilities we need (such as a Vodafone shop to sort out the Internet on my iPad).
Tomorrow the plan is to visit our friends at the Headammen (that is also a Frisian word!).
