Port of IJmuiden
Some of our expedition members are leaving today, so we help them unload and say our goodbyes, wishing them good luck, as it is customary to do on the sea.
We took advantage of the delivery of supplies in the afternoon to visit Amsterdam, just a few kilometers away.
What can I say about this beautiful city? Simply that we had a wonderful afternoon and enjoyed its streets, canals and people and left wanting to explore the city more, but we have to get back to the boat since we’re leaving for the UK in a few hours.
This is the last stretch of the expedition. We have a day of sailing ahead and the last few days of work; it seems like the weather isn’t going to cooperate but we’ll see what’s in store for us this last week.
Greetings to all.
