Since we didn’t want to be attacked again by swarms of mosquitoes we decided it was high time to move. Yesterday we’ve looked at the options to where we could go from Makkum, but the wind was quite strong and not really favorable for all the interesting options. We also needed to replenish our stocks. So we decided to try our luck at the municipality marina again, which lies next to the village center. We were hoping that most people would have left by now, and we would be able to find an empty spot. We refilled our water tank, paid the fee for the marina and said goodbye to the broker / harbour master. All set for the next passage which would cover a whopping distance of 0,5 nautical miles, a new record!
We were lucky. Most people apparently leave at 11, so the municipality marina of Makkum was indeed almost empty, and we could pick the best spot. The weather was tropical again. After we’d moored the first thing we did was building some kind of shelter for the sun with bed sheets and bath towels. Only one obligation left, paying the fee at the harbour office. After that nothing stood in our way to spend the whole day swimming, feeding the geese and turning doing nothing into an art form, taking an example from Captain Fluffy.
