The Empty Harbour
Here is a very rare site in Holland, a marina without any boats.
The reason is the marina here at Hemmeland (Monnickendam) is being dredged to make the water deeper for the boats that are normally here. Â All the boats that are normally parked here have been moved out of the way so the dredger can do its work.

The Winter Mooring
Here’s our home at our winter berth. Â We’re tucked away in a warm corner of the marina and nicely out of the wind.
