Hempens - Grou(w)
Hempens, close to Leeuwarden/Ljouwert, was left on Monday the 29th of April at 10:55AM. The course is exactly the same -albeit in opposite direction- as we followed in week 15, Grou(w) – Harlingen/Harns, in this case a shorter leg. So there’s not many news… Well, we spotted a stork-couple when cruising the Wargaastervaart/Wergeaster Feart near Warga/Wergea. Here is 50% of them two. They appeared to be too much separated for a picture of both of them. ‘Better half an egg than an empty shell’ in this case is an appropriate Dutch proverb.
We arrived around 12:30PM at our intended destination, being an island within the Pikmeer/Pikmar, close to Grou(w). See the aerial view. Grou(w) is strikingly visible west of the Pikmeer/Pikmar, the latter being the north/western of the lakes. The island we are moored at is just visible inside the lake at the south/east-side of it. Ideal for the dog! He is allowed to run around freely and cannot get lost. © Google Earth. The same spot was occupied in week 14, so in case you’re curious have a look there…
Jay – our puppy dog
Born on the 3rd of December 2018 Jay now is already 5 months old. It’s a joy to (try to) train him.
This week’s statistics.
Engine ran during 1 hour and 48 minutes (1,8 hours) – only on Monday.
Generator this week 13 hours and 6 minutes (13,1hours). 'Score' on Sunday the 5th, 2:56PM. The day isn't over yet.
Weather: Monday: mixed overcast and sunny. The other days are not in our log-book, simply because we didn’t cruise. From memory: mixed – windy, rather cold.
Hope to see you next week again!
