Ijmuiden


A murmur of English voices rises from Ijmuiden's harbour side walkways. The cruise ship Columbus has docked in the main port.


She is watched over by the all seeing control tower, up on its hillside perch. Supervising the busy shipping movements of the locks into the Noordzeekanaal. Gateway to Amsterdam.


 A grey morning quickly clears into a day to watch......


....the boats come and go.


I find a vantage point, up on the sea wall, with the sun warming my back and the breeze cooling my face.


Below me, Stargazer lies ready. Eager to be on her way tomorrow.
