Harlingen to Den Helder
06/08/06 12:38 Filed in: The Netherlands
Another early start at 07:45 hoping to beat the outbound rush.
By 08:00 we are clear or Harlingen harbour bound for Den Helder. The engine is off and all sails are up with the wind at NW F4-5.
Our course follows a buoyed channel slightly west of south, then turns slightly north of west before turning southwest again. On the westerly leg we have to tack twice.
By 14:20 we are approaching Den Helder. All sails are taken in and we resume motoring. We enter Den Helder harbour and proceed to the KM Yacht Club where we moor at the waiting berth. Later we shift to our allocated berth, C3, at 15:00.
KM Yacht Club is the Dutch Navy yacht club. It is very well run and very welcoming with a busy and friendly restaurant run by an entertaining Dutch couple.
Daily Run 25.2 miles Passage Time 7hrs 15min
Mooring €12.72
