Out of Friesland

2 August 2015

We stayed two nights at the marina in Oostmahorn at a cost of €15.40 per night.  Water and electricity, if required, are extra.

At 0930 we left the marina in beautiful weather.   The meer is about a mile wide in places so we had a bit of old-fashioned pilotage to do, navigating from buoy to buoy.  



… quite a change from the narrow canals and rivers…


We were aiming to find a nature mooring to stop for lunch, and at 1315 we found one with just enough room for us between two other vessels.   We are now out of Friesland and into the Province of Groningen.


The mooring was such a nice place that we decided to stay there for the night.   There was no pontoon, just linked posts, so we were unable to go ashore onto what was very clearly private farmland.   We did have a visit from the locals.



What little wind there was dropped away in the evening and we enjoyed another beautiful sunset.
