The last two days on Vlieland, we worked, cycled and walked. The weather was sunny but cold. The Wadden islands are the sunniest but also coldest part of the country. As it is better to have sun and cold than rain and not-so-cold, we think its quite a good deal!
Here are a few more Vlieland pictures, taken when we walked up the dune to the lighthouse.
This morning we left at 8:30 for the short (8.1 nm) trip to Terschelling. If you use the high tide, you can go through the "Schuitengat", which is a major shortcut (otherwise its 17 nm).
It was a bit hazy, but enough visibility to pick up the marks plus we had the radar and the GPS as extra aids. There was no wind to speak of, so an easy trip:
Soon we arrived at the harbour entrance. The lighthouse, the 'Brandaris', is very prominent and a typical Terschelling landmark:
It looks even better once you are moving through the harbour:
Then you pass the yard where the buoys are serviced and stored:
And if you're lucky you get this picture of the seagulls:
We'll stay here until the Royal inauguration ceremony on the 30th, but will post from time to time!
