Following a break of one week consisting of work, football and sightseeing, we embarked on the final leg through the Noordzeekanaal to IJmuiden. Quite boring really but luckily the weather cooperated. The days before had been horrendous with horizontal rain and strong winds....
So we motored out of Amsterdam and successfully negotiated the locks heading out into the North Sea at IJmuiden. But no more sailing at sea for Struana this time, which was just as well as the weather deteriorated rapidly, from grey to rain + wind, and lots of it. It was tough to moor neatly but moor we did and there we were, in the homeport for Struana for a while. Home away from home, with her true homeport remaining Aberdeen, of course!
Struana was made ready for some time by herself and we all left by bus and fast ferry back to Amsterdam to catch the overnight train back to Zurich.
Distance: 12 Nm
