It took us four days. There was a lot of ice.
This "vlet" was bought by the son of my friend Piet Bos.
The motor worked well and we have seen a lot of Holland in winter.
In Aalsmeer we bought this very tasty smoked eel:
We had moored the boat in one of the canals of Amsterdam to buy some food and have a meal in a greek restaurant.
When we returned after two hours the boat had disappeared!!
We went to the police and were told they had towed the boat away, because it was not allowed to moor there. There had been a sign somewhere that we did not see.
We took a taxi to where they had towed the boat and after paying a huge fine we could sleep on the boat again. Here a photo of these police men and women with Piet:
In Enkhuizen we were stopped by a lot of ice. So we had to go to Lelystad to cross the dyke.
Nice and warm in the cabin. Luckily the heating was very good.
So easy to travel with a motorboat instead of sailing in inland waters.
