Weesp to Strandhorst. Vecht River / Randomeer.

This is what we awoke to.

A pea soup mist.

We had a longish day ahead so set off up the Vecht in the hopes that the mist would be short lived. We refuelled in Muiden and tied up in front of a boatyard which was shut, being Sunday. An hour later the mist had still not cleared so we edged out into the meer and with the help of HD Boating on the tablet made our way up the channel from buoy to buoy. 

I wonder if Jack Sparrow is aboard.

The mist did eventually start to lift revealing hundreds of sailboats slowly going nowhere in the windless conditions. 


By lunchtime the sun had come out. We even dropped the Bimini to fully enjoy the warm sunny conditions and pulled in to our berth at Strandhorst by four pm. Hugs and kisses all round from the Sunday staff. It was like coming home.

Now the work starts, getting the boat ready to leave for the winter. First job a load of washing - the cheapest we came across on this trip at 5.50 for a big load, wash and dry. 

Happily we have the Wok Inn right here in the marina. I think our fortune cookie might predict stir fry prawns in our near future :)

I don't remember any sideways buoys in our CEVNI test.
