After a really pleasant stay we left de Oosterhaven in Enkhuizen. Funny, if you like it somewhere it is hard to leave, especially if you have all the conveniences you need within reach, like shops, water and electricity. But we decided yesterday that if we wouldn’t leave today we probably would stay indefinitely. It is as if you’re losing your momentum. Once you’re moving it’s easy to keep moving. But when you stop, it becomes really hard to set the whole thing in motion again. It is a thin line, finding the balance between taking your time without rushing and keeping your momentum.
It now sounds as if our next passage was a long one, but it wasn’t. We only motored 1,1 nautical miles to the anchorage near the Zuiderzee museum. There was next to no wind. The wind would be favorable again on Thursday and Friday, so we anchored here until we really leave. Somehow we find it easier to get started from an anchorage than from a marina. So we might not have gotten far but at least we are moving again.
