4] Sixhaven Marina, a thunderstorm and Exploring AMSTERDAM! | Sailing Mutiny

So we have made it safely across the North Sea! It took us around 20 hours to get to Ijmuiden Seaport Marina from Lowestoft and was a much better sail than our previous one! We had a couple of nights to recharge our batteries then we began our journey into the Netherlands canal system. We continued our journey towards Amsterdam going through Kleine Sluis by Ijmuiden to get us down to the correct water level. It was a relaxing journey down the super wide canal and Scrappy came out to enjoy it with us. Amsterdam was reached after about a 3 hour journey and we squeezed ourselves in Sixhaven Marina opposite Amsterdam Central Station. A 5 minute walk from Sixhaven gave us access to a free ferry across the canal to the city centre. There was SO much to see and do - we spent hours exploring! We throughly enjoyed a meatball sandwich from 'Mister Meatball' - highly recommend a visit here - and wandered down the streets lining the many canals of Amsterdam. Numerous 'coffeeshops' were passed and hundreds of stunning buildings. During our stay in Amsterdam there was a very impressive thunderstorm. The recording of this is probably my favourite part of the video! Check it out at 11:37. Further exploration of Amsterdam led me past Anne Franks's house and the almighty Westerkerk - Anne could hear the bells from her attic room and they provided her with some comfort. After we had exhausted ourselves, we decided to keep heading North up towards the Markermeer. Dave found us a beautiful anchorage just outside of Hoorn for our first attempt at anchoring out! ____________________________________________________________________ Read our Sailing Travel Journal entries here: IJmuiden: https://www.sailingmutiny.com/seaport-marina-ijmuiden/ Sixhaven: https://www.sailingmutiny.com/sixhaven-marina-amsterdam/ ____________________________________________________________________ Subscribe to our channel so you don't miss the next episode!: https://www.youtube.com/SailingMutiny ____________________________________________________________________ Find us on Social Media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sailingmutiny Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sailingmutiny/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sailingmutiny Website: www.sailingmutiny.com ____________________________________________________________________ Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sailingmutiny ____________________________________________________________________ Thank you very much to the people that created the music used in this video.
