We returned to Lemmer towards the end of June; very glad to be back 'home'. We had a few visitors as I was getting the dinghy ready:
One of which tried to use the painter as a resting place:
By 1100 we were ready to depart for our destination that evening which was to be one of the Marrekrite moorings on an island just E of Grou and just W of the village of Earnewâld. On our way we passed at least half a dozen large commercial vessels:
The mooring we had chosen is in a National Park. It is a beautiful place, in spite of being very popular, with many vessels choosing to use the excellent pontoons and grassed mooring areas. A lot of the boats had dogs and cats on board but these were never a problem - everyone is careful to clear up their animal poop - usually by flicking it into the water…
The island has a circular walk, which we did. In various places there are signs giving information about the diverse flora and fauna that can be found here.
By 1600 most of the available space was taken, which I would guess means there must have been 50 or 60 vessels parked up around the island with a couple rafted up here and there. We were very happy with our position on the W side of the island as we had the benefit of the evening sun, and another spectacular sunset.
