We had a great trip from Ameland to Schiermonnikoog today. We were a bit early for the first shallow spot (some say 'the water was late'), so most of us ran aground but only for a few minutes. After that it was an easy, sunny trip and we were in "Schier" exactly at high tide. The harbourmaster was waiting for us and gave us nice places in a very quiet harbour.
The harbour has silted up quite a bit and we are currently 'stuck-in-the-mud' at a bit of an awkward angle. Such are the joys of 'Wadvaren'! When the water comes back tonight, we'll come upright again and try to reposition the boat so that it settles a bit more upright at the next low tide tomorrow morning.
We'll leave here around midday, back to the mainland: lock at Lauwersoog and then on to Zoutkamp.
