Today we take the reverse ropute back to delfzijl.Tomorrow we will do the rest to Steendam at the Schildmeer. The only difference is that there is less time to catch the right tide , especially the current at the Eems back to delfzijl.
However we took the dry-out area under Juist exactly in time ,scraping the bottom and ahd the right speed to have a helping current all the way up the Eems to Delfzijl.Yes , we have the normal speed again after I removed a bunch of rope from the folding prop! It was a miracle that with that amount of rope we still could do 5.3 knots! Removing the rope I discovered a new advantage for a folding prop. The rope will not stick behind the prop blades and have to be cut all the way trough but loosening it is enough to slip over the folded propeller!
The weather was excellent with no wind at all . The waddenzee was flat as a mirror which gives an almost surrealistic view.
