Volendam to Amsterdam (Sixhaven)

The Friday brought end of vacation blues, not helped by a strong south westerly wind which meant a short hop on the engine into het IJ, which is the main waterway through Amsterdam.

We wanted to arrive early -midday- to ensure a space in the small, very conveniently located, Sixhaven, opposite Amsterdam Central Station. This we achieved and Struana was safely moored in her home for the following week. Some more bitterballen, biertjes and relaxation followed.

During the week Frederik would go to football camp and Maria and Sofia would be able to see some sights, with the final leg of the journey - to IJmuiden on the North Sea coast - to be completed the following weekend.

But not before a mini family reunion ....
